The Ceramic Art of Great Britain Volume 2 (of 2)

Amongst other interesting entries from week to week in the bills, I have chosen a few examples to illustrate the kind of work then carried on in this factory.

Examples of this kind[15] could be multiplied to any extent, but to bring the extracts a little later down in date, I shall content myself by giving the “weekly bill at Chelsea from June 19 to the 26, 1773,” to show that the same hands, with the addition of a modeller named Gauron, were still employed:—

Before Mr. Duesbury purchased the Chelsea works the mark of that manufactory was an anchor, and to this Mr. Duesbury added the letter D ; and the mark now known as distinguishing the “Derby Chelsea” ware was thus—generally in gold. Examples of this period are of comparative rarity, and are eagerly sought after by collectors.

In 1772, in the very curious MS. “Lists of Gent., &c., in Derby, 1772,” in my own possession (a list prepared for official purposes over elections), are the following entries under “Southwark,” as that part of Derby was called. In one:—

In June, 1773, Mr. Duesbury took the lease of premises (late the Castle Tavern) in Bedford Street, Covent Garden, for a warehouse for his Derby and Chelsea ware, and here, with this William Wood as his agent (afterwards succeeded by J. Lygo), he exhibited and kept a large stock of his manufactures, and carried on, in conjunction with his two works, a very thriving and lucrative trade. Here he issued a “List of the principal additions made this year to the new invented Groups, Jars, Vases, Urns, Beakers, Cups, Chalices, &., of Mr. Duesbury’s Derby and Chelsea Manufactory of Porcelaines, Biscuits, and China Ware, both Ornamental and Useful.” This “list” is printed in small quarto. Among the articles enumerated, one hundred and twenty-three in number, the following will be sufficient to show their beautiful and elaborate nature, and the amount of labour and artistic skill which they exhibited:—

“1. Their present majesties, the king and queen, and royal family, in three grouped pieces of biscuit. The centre piece represents the king in a Vandyke dress, on a blue and gold basement, supported by four lions leaning on an altar richly ornamented in blue and gold, with hanging trophies of the polite arts and sciences. The crown, munde, and sceptre reposing on a cushion, of crimson, embroidered, fringed, and tapelled in gold. 14 inches.

“42. A large beaker, sky-blue ground spotted in white; two dolphins, lion footed, standing on white goats’ heads, form the two anses in crimson and white edged with gold, the mouth of the beaker and the top of the vase are furrowed with twisted crenures in white and gold; the zone of the top is adorned with golden lions, turned toward white and gold marks; the rim of the cup part is foliated and crenulated friese, white and gold, with detached patera, the pediment striped with gold in alternate triangles, the foot covered with gilt leaves; the pedestal in white and gold has four white sphinxes for angular supporters, over which runs a gold festoon fixed to the surbase; the whole, with the pedestals, 20 inches.

“105. A white gallon cask, with gold edged hoops, adorned with four trophies of music emblems of love, in chiaro-oscuro, surmounted by a young coloured Bacchus, sitting on the bung tasting a grape, of which he holds a basket full between his legs, and a cup in his left hand, the barrel is made to turn round on a pivot fixed in an ormolu pediment, a satyr’s mask holds an ormolu cock in his mouth, which opens and shuts by a spring. 18 inches.”

The works at Chelsea were not finally discontinued until the year 1784, when they were destroyed by Mr. Duesbury, the kilns and every part of the work pulled down, and what was available sent down to Derby. The removal of the kilns, and the work of demolition, was entrusted to Robert Boyer, the painter, &c., the old and faithful servant whose name appears in the “weekly bills” above given; and when his work was done he removed to Derby at twenty-five shillings per week in place of a guinea, with house rent free, and fire as heretofore.[16] It is also worthy of remark that Mr. Duesbury purchased the Bow business, and owned the pottery at Pedlar’s Acre, at Lambeth, the rents of which he assigned in 1781.

Periodical sales of stock were held in London by Mr. Duesbury, and judging by the catalogues of “Sales by Auction” by Messrs. Christie and Ansell, of Pall Mall, and “Sales by Candle,” by Mr. Hunter, the articles sent up for the purpose were excellent examples of the manufacture, and just such as were likely to be sought after by the traders—the “chinamen” of London. The descriptions of the goods were of much the same character as in the “list” referred to, with this addition, that in the late catalogues the price (the trade price possibly) was attached to each article. I have by me the priced catalogues of several years’ sales, and it is highly interesting to examine them, and to see the prices the different articles realised at the sales. They give, perhaps, one of the best insights into the porcelain trade of that period of anything I have seen. A few items, taken at random, from some of these catalogues, will be useful to the collector. The “Catalogue of an elegant and extensive assortment of Derby and Chelsea Porcelaine” for sale on May 10th, 1781, and four following days, has a long and full title-page, and occupies thirty-two octavo pages. The company were invited to this sale by cards, of which the following is a copy:—

“At Mess^rs Christie and Ansell’s great Room, next Cumberland House, Pall Mall, will be sold by Auction on Tuesday next, the 7th of May 1782, and the Four following Days, an elegant and extensive Assortment of the Derby and Chelsea Porcelain, consisting of Table and Desert Services, Tea and Coffee Equipages, Biscuit Ornaments, &c., &c.

“To be viewed on Saturday the 4th of May, and till the Sale (Sunday excepted), which will begin each Day at 12 o’clock.

“N.B.—Mr. Duesbury flatters himself the Produce of his Manufactory this Year will be found far superior to any Thing he has ever yet exhibited, and therefore humbly hopes he shall experience the wonted generous Countenance of the Nobility, and his Friends in general, whose Patronage (with the highest Sense of Gratitude) he will be ever studious to deserve.”

One of these sale catalogues, at the risk of occupying much space, I here reprint entire, because I conceive nothing could more completely show the character of the goods, ornamental as well as useful, which at that time were the staple productions of the Derby works. It cannot, I opine, but be of immense use to collectors in assisting them to correctly appropriate and date their examples. The catalogue which I now reprint (one of several years in my possession) is of folio size, and occupies twelve pages. The selling prices are printed in the catalogue; the prices realised at the sale, however, were not, on the average, more than one-half the printed ones. The proceeds of the whole sale was £276 4s. It is of the year 1785. The title-page is as follows:—
