Excerpt: William Billingsley (17581828), born in Derby, England, had been apprenticed under William Duesbury at the Royal Crown Derby Porcelain Works, Derby and was an outstanding painter of porcelain. While at Derby, he developed an extremely distinctive style of flower painting, which became so popular with the firms London customers that, when he was thinking of leaving in 1796 the agent wrote to the owners to persuade them of the importance of retaining his services or preventing him from working for a competitor. They were not able to persuade him to stay, and he began a series of moves that he continued regularly for the remainder of his life. First he went to Pinxton, a small village in Derbyshire, where he set up a factory which he stayed with until 1801. The factory itself continued until 1812 but its products are scarce. Billingsley's further moves took him to Mansfield and later at Torksey, Lincolnshire, where it's thought he first came into contact with potter Samuel Walker, who later married Billingsley's daughter Sarah in 1812, when the group moved to Worcester. Before settling at Worcester, Billingsley approached a number of potteries in search of employment, including the Cambrian Pottery, Swansea, Glamorganshire in 1907. Billingsley started at Royal Worcester in 1808 where he was instrumental in the firm's refinements of its porcelain recipe.
