The next year there were two sales, in which were included figure groups, jars, beakers, birds and beasts, and tea and other table services, while the pieces were of enamelled china as well as of plain blue and white. In 1764 the stock of John Crowther was sold. The Bow works were called New Canton, as we learn from the Bow memorandum books in Lady C. Schreiber's collection, as well as from some inkstands made at Bow and inscribed " Made at New Cantor, " the dates 1750 and 1751 being also on th...ese pieces. This fact is in accordance with the statement of Thomas Craft, a Bow painter, to whom we shall presently refer, that the Bow factory was copied from that at Canton in China. In the year 1776 ihe Bow works were purchased by W. Duesbury, of Derby, and the moulds and models sent there. Very important information concerning the Bow works was derived from some excavations made on the site by Messrs. Bell and Black, in the year 1S68. While trenching a drain from the lucifer-match works to the sewer, the workmen found, at a depth of eight or ten feet below the surface, a number of fragments of glazed and unglazed porcelain, both white and painted in blue, as well as fragments of saggers and wasters.
