Vale Mark Query - Royal Crown Derby Cats Series -Pearly QUEEN:- Dear sir/madam . I have recently acquired an " albino" version of the Royal Crown Derby -Cats Series - PEARLY QUEEN. It has a back stamp in High Case Letters " ROYAL VALE " - no other mark or stamp.

I have compared this piece with my Pearly Queen ( Royal Crown Derby China ) from my set of CATS . I find that it is entirely white glazed with just a band of gold paint around the hat and around the base'. No other colour at all - alongside the rich colourway of my RC piece it is very odd.!Somewhat aneamic! I think it is maybe an import/copy from PRC but the quality is good NOT rubbish . Can anyone tell me if this was an early slip or any reason why it was not finished.?
