Recd. of Mr. Duesbury in full of all demands for Self and the a Bove.
RICHD. BARTON.
Before Mr. Duesbury purchased the Chelsea works the mark of that
manufactory was an anchor, [Illustration: Fig. 44.] 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.
[Illustration: Fig. 45.]
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:--
Duesbury, Mr. W^m China Manufacturer.
Steer, Mr. John A^t to China Manufactory.
Wood, Mr. W^m Do.
and in the other list:--
Mr. Duesbury China Manufacturer.
Mr. W^m Wood Clerk to Do.
Mr. John Steer Do.
