Flower painting of the present example's quality is most often attributed to William Billingsley, who worked at the factory from 1808 to 1813 and painted flowers for a short time during this period, or Samuel Astles, a student of Thomas Baxter, who arrived at the factory in about 1812 and worked there until 1840.
