Chelsea porcelain, Soft-paste porcelain made in the London borough of Chelsea. The factory, established c. 1743, produced its greatest wares—tableware and bird figures, with designs inspired by Meissen porcelain and marked with a raised anchor on an oval medallion—from 1750 to 1752. Later marks used were the red anchor (1752–58) and the gold anchor (1758–70). Production from 1770 to 1784, when the factory was maintained by William Duesbury of Derby, is known as Chelsea-Derbyware. Reproductions and forgeries are numerous.
