William Billingsley (1758–1828) was an English potter and ceramic artist, who is best known for his work in the Staffordshire pottery district during the late 18th and early 19th century. He worked primarily in the production of creamware and pearlware ceramics which were popular at the time for factories such as Coalport, Derby, Spode and Worcester. Billingsley was considered one of the leading ceramic artists of his time, known for his technical skill and innovative designs. He experimented with new forms, glazes, and techniques, and is credited with helping to popularize transfer-printing as a decorative technique. Some of his most famous works include a series of transfer-printed pottery depicting scenes from Shakespeare's plays, and a series of ornate creamware teapots. Billingsley's work has a high historical and artistic value.
