William Duesbury II took over from his father, followed by the patnership of Duesbury & Keane and after 1811 by Robert Bloor. The early wares are unmarked and the crown and crossed batons mark came into use in 1782 Derby produced a wide range of figures . The factory attracted several skilled painters and specialized in painted landscapes. In the later years especially in the Bloor period Derby produced a range of colorful and highly gilded "Japan" Imari patterns. The factory closed in 1848
