Soon the business of William senior failed, and in 1757 the whole family moved to Newcastle upon Tyne to start again. William senior died eight years later. Richard also died afterwards. Beilby and his sister Mary (1749–97) worked as enamellers for local glass makers.

  • William Beilby (1740-1819) fue un vidriero inglés conocido por haber producido el excepcional vidrio esmaltado durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII. El padre de Beilby, William, era orfebre y joyero en Durham. Beilby, junto con sus hermanos Richard, Ralph y Thomas fueron enviados a la escuela primaria durante su infancia. Richard y Beilby, los dos más mayores, marcharon más tarde como aprendices a Birmingham, el mayor de aprendizaje de grabado y el pequeño, esmaltado y dibujo. Pronto el negocio de William padre fracasó, y en 1757 toda la familia se mudó a Newcastle upon Tyne para comenzar de nuevo. William padre murió ocho años después y Richard también murió. Beilby y su hermana Mary (1749-97) trabajaron como esmaltadoras para fabricantes locales de vidrio. Cuando Ralph se convirtió en el jefe comercial de la familia, Mary pasó gran parte de su tiempo con Beilby ya que se había enamorado del Newcastle medieval. Beilby estaba fascinado por la próspera industria del vidrio que lo rodeaba, y parece ser que fue en el Closegate en 1761 cuando Beilby se convirtió en el primer hombre en Inglaterra, posiblemente en el mundo, en esmaltar los vidrios para convertirlos virtualmente en parte del vaso en sí. Beilby enseñó a Mary a pintar con esmaltes en el taller de la familia en Amen Corner, junto a la Catedral de San Nicolás, aunque nunca alcanzaba la destreza de su hermano. A medida que lograba un mayor reconocimiento, Beilby era llamado a crear cristales con heráldica ficticia , o piezas que conmemoraban eventos particulares como la elección del alcalde o la botadura de un barco. Un excelente ejemplo de este último es el cuenco de 'Margaret y Winneford' en la . Los vidrios de Beilby se pueden encontrar en grandes museos de todo el mundo e, incluso cuando están dañadas, valen decenas de miles de libras. Beilby y Mary trabajaron juntos desde 1760 hasta 1778. En 1767 el joven Thomas Bewick se unió a la familia como aprendiz de Ralph. Bewick y Mary desarrollaron un afecto mutuo, aunque Ralph hizo todo lo posible para poner obstáculos en el camino de la joven pareja. Después de que Mary tuvo un derrame cerebral en 1774 el ardor de Bewick se enfrió. La familia se mudó de Newcastle a Londres en 1778 y luego a Escocia donde murió Mary. Durante este último período, la familia no produjo más vidrio, pero Beilby pintó muchos de sus exquisitos colores de agua. Eventualmente, regresó a las raíces familiares en Hull en 1810. (es)

Beilby and his sister Mary (1749–97) worked as enamellers for local glass makers. As Ralph emerged as the business head of the family, Mary spent much of her time with Beilby, who had fallen in love with medieval Newcastle. Beilby was at once fascinated by the thriving glass industry about him, and it seems that it was at the Closegate in 1761 that Beilby became the first man in England to fire enamels into glass, so that they became virtually part of the glass itself. Beilby taught Mary to paint in enamels at the family workshop in Amen Corner by St Nicholas' Church, though she never matched the skill of her brother. As he achieved greater recognition, Beilby was often called upon to create glasses with fictitious heraldry on them, or pieces commemorating particular events like the election of the Lord Mayor or the launching of a ship. A superb example of the latter is the 'Margaret and Winneford' bowl in the Laing Art Gallery. Beilby glasses can be found in great museums all over the world, and even when damaged are worth tens of thousands of pounds. Beilby and Mary worked together from 1760 to 1778. In 1767 the young Thomas Bewick joined the family as an apprentice to Ralph. Bewick and Mary developed an affection for each other, though Ralph did all he could to put obstacles in the way of the young pair. After Mary had a stroke in 1774, however, Bewick's ardour cooled. The family moved from Newcastle to London in 1778 and then to Scotland, where Mary died. Over this last period, the family produced no more glass, but Beilby painted more of his exquisite water colours. Eventually, he moved back to the family roots in Hull in 1810. (en)
