established 1761,” in five lines; above are the royal arms, and beneath are the Prince of Wales’s feathers, the whole within a circle; surrounding the circle is, “Manufacturers to their Majesties and the Prince Regent; London Warehouse, No. 1, Coventry Street.” In 1786, Robert Chamberlain, who was the first apprentice to the old Worcester Porcelain Company, and who had continued with the different proprietors up to that period, commenced business for himself in premises at Diglis--the same which are now carried on by the Royal Worcester Porcelain Company. Chamberlain was a painter, and on the first establishment of his business bought his porcelain from the Caughley works (Coalbrookdale) and painted it at Worcester. In a very short time, however, he made his own, and his works soon grew into public favour and eminence. His son was an excellent artist, and a portrait of the Princess Charlotte, which he painted, is said to have given the highest satisfaction to Prince Leopold and others. The mark adopted by Chamberlain was simply his name in writing, thus, “_Chamberlain’s_,” or “Chamberlains completes the sentence. Worcester”. Afterwards the following marks were used:-- [Illustration: _Chamberlain’s, Worcester, & 63, Piccadilly, London._ _Chamberlain’s Regent China, Worcester, & 155, New Bond Street, London._ _Chamberlain’s, Worcester, & 155, New Bond Street, London. Royal Porcelain Manufactory._ CHAMBERLAINS. _Chamberlain & Co., Worcester._ CHAMBERLAIN & CO., WORCESTER, 155, NEW BOND STREET, & NO. 1, COVENTRY ST., LONDON. Figs. 527 to 536.] As a companion picture to the fac-simile of Dr. Wall’s works I give views of those of Chamberlain’s (Fig. 537), and, later, of Flight and Barr’s, the latter copied from an engraving transferred to porcelain. From these the extensive character of the place will be seen. It has, however, been much increased since the amalgamation of the two establishments, and within the last few years has been almost entirely rebuilt by the present proprietors.
