Background of Early Coalport Porcelain

The Coalport Porcelain factory was established by John Rose in 1795.Rose had previously trained at the Caughley Porcelain manufactory in Shropshire and began producing his own pottery nearby at Jackfield around 1780.
His rapid success allowed him to acquire the Caughley Porcelain factory in 1799, which then became the main factory for Coalport Porcelain.
John Rose hired the talented William Billingsley as a chief painter and Billingsley’s chemist, Walker, who brought technical recipes from the Nantgarw factory to Coalport.
Between 1800 and 1820, Coalport porcelain reached a peak of quality and innovation, producing a fine, glassy-bodied ware ideal for lavish decoration.
Popular designs included bold Japanese-inspired Imari patterns in iron-red, cobalt, and rich gilding; finely painted botanical flowers; and services with elegant Regency shapes.
Coalport became renowned for its heavy, precise gilding, often raised and textured, and after acquiring Nantgarw and Swansea stock in 1819, incorporated their exceptionally translucent porcelain into its products.
Most pieces from this era were unmarked, but distinctive shapes, brilliant enamels, and opulent gilding are the mark of early 19th-century Coalport.
