William Billingsley arrived at Worcester in the summer of 1808 during the Barr, Flight and Barr period and it is likely that he painted roses and other flowers on Worcester porcelain during the first year or two of his time there, before Martin Barr put him to work on refining the Worcester body. Billingsley left Worcester in 1813. A vase with a related and distinctive treatment of roses attributed to Billingsley is illustrated by John Sandon, Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain (1993), p.66. A Barr, Flight and Barr teacup and saucer by William Billingsley was sold by Bonhams 3 October 2012, lot 199.
