Only four bowls decorated by the Beilby workshop are recorded. They include two large armorial punchbowls - The Margaret and Winneford in the Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the unidentified armorial bowl, dated 1765, in the Victoria and Albert Museum. A betrothal bowl, dated 1764, in the collection of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation in Virginia, is the closest to the present example.
