Crown Devon pottery started its life as S. Fielding & Co, which is why you’ll find a variety of backstamps and markings spanning the years. Simon Fielding took over the Railway Works in Stoke-on-Trent in 1878 and started making pottery. Early pottery such as the Fielding ‘majolica’ really put S. Fielding & Co. on the map.
From 1921, the Crown Devon name was introduced, and the Railway Works was renamed the Devon Pottery.
Whilst the Crown Devon factory closed its doors in 1982, the wonderful figurines, products and tableware sets are still very much sought after and collected today.
