About this title

Synopsis

This book follows William Billingsley as he moved from manufacturer to manufacturer as an employee and employer in pursuit of his career as one of the finest British porcelain decorators and porcelain producers of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The book functions as a well-illustrated guide to his works, introduces new findings about his products and proposes new theories regarding the history of the famed Derby Barry Barry dinner service and Coalport’s potential use of the Billingsley paste in Coalport wares. The book also acts as a catalogue of some of the William Billingsley related pieces of Derby, Pinxton, Worcester, Swansea, Nantgarw and Coalport porcelain offered for sale by Penrose Antiques Ltd.
