After completing an apprenticeship in the Potteries, he began his employment at the Nottingham Road factory in Derby, with his first period spanning 1796 to 1801. After this initial five-year stint, he left the factory due to his deeply held religious beliefs, feeling that the frivolous nature of painting was at odds with his newly adopted Quaker faith. Despite his reasons for leaving, he returned to the Derby factory in 1813 and stayed with them until 1820. During both periods, Pegg became renowned for executing some of the finest botanical painting on porcelain of the late Georgian period. Striking examples of his work can be seen in the Victoria and Albert Museum; the Derby Museum and Art Gallery; the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia; and the Chazen Museum of Art in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. Henry Rogers Broughton, 2nd Baron Fairhaven, was an avid collector of botanical china as well as botanical watercolours.
