The Derby China Factory was started in 1755 by William Duesbury I, who later purchased Chelsea and Bow. 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 |
