This book follows William Billingsley, the famed porcelain decorator of the eighteenth and nineteenth century, as he moved from manufacturer to manufacturer as an employee and employer in pursuit of his career. The book is a well-illustrated guide to his works, and introduces new findings about his products. It also puts forward 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 functions 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.
