English porcelain : a handbook to the china made in England during the eighteenth century as illustrated by specimens in the national collections . htround the coffee-can, J 36 (Fig. 26), and to the six pieces (J 40,60, 60a, 6ob, 60c, and 93) illustrating the chief Japan patternsin vogue at the Derby works during the last years of the eighteenthcentury and in the beginning of the present These, like mostof the finer pieces of the later time at Derby, were profuselydecorated with rich gilding. Little can be said as to the materials used in the Derby worksprevious to the year 1769: probably the early body was a fritporcelain containing Dorset clay : bones were afterwards used;and lastly, china clay and china stone. There is an earthinessor opacity about the paste of the later ware, especially duringthe Bloor period, which detracts from the quality of the enamel-colours used. The three vases or bottles, J 14, 15, 16, in JermynStreet collection are, however, good examples of this late gros-bleu and deep pink ground-colours are of peculiarlyrich quality.
