Crown Devon (England) boxes

Crown Devon was a British pottery manufacturer that was founded in the late 19th century in the town of Devonport, England. The company, originally known as "Fieldings," was established in 1878, and it produced a wide range of ceramic items, including tableware, vases, and figurines. In the early 20th century, the company changed its name to "Crown Devon" to reflect its growing reputation for producing high-quality, hand-painted porcelain.

Throughout the early 20th century, Crown Devon established a reputation for producing high-quality, hand-painted porcelain with intricate designs. The company's porcelain was known for its delicate and detailed patterns, as well as its bright and vibrant colors. It also produced a wide variety of items, including plates, cups, saucers, figurines, and vases. Many of these pieces were decorated with gold and other precious metals, which added to their luxury and elegance.

Crown Devon was also known for more... its Art Deco-style pottery, which was produced during the 1920s and 1930s. This style of pottery was characterized by its clean, geometric lines and bold, colorful designs, and it was very popular during this time period.

In the mid 20th century, Crown Devon faced financial difficulties and the business closed in 1982.
