Title: Vintage Crown Devon Fieldings Art Deco Ewer Style Vase A127.
Manufacturer: Crown Devon, Made In England.
Height: 26cm.
Diameter: 12cm.
Info: Stamped with A127 on base as well as the makers mark of D 3309.
A beautifully hand decorated Ewer shaped Art Deco style vase with a fluted pourer and a hexagonal faceted neck over a round bulb shaped base, with a handle.
The Gold trim on the handle as well as the colourful floral design makes this an exceptional piece of pottery designed in the early part of the last century, possibly in the late 1940's or early 1950's. The back stamp was in use until 1965.
The Fieldings Crown Devon story began in 1878 when Simon Fielding bought control of the Railway Works in Stoke on Trent, then trading as Hackney, Kirkham & Co. It began to trade as S. Fielding & Co. shortly after this under the management of Abraham Fielding, Simon Fielding's son. 
Expansion followed, and as the Crown Devon branding was adopted it became so well known that the Railway Works pottery was renamed the Devon Pottery. 
As fashions changed and Art Deco became the height of fashion, Fielding Crown Devon produced new ranges of matt glazed and lustre finished products to meet this demand. Ranges such as the mattajade range and patterns such as Fairyland Castle, Fantasia and Sylvan Butterfly became very successful. Many Art Deco style figures were also produced, many of the most notable modeled by Kathleen Parsons which today are highly collectable and can sell for hundreds of pounds each.
As the 1960's progressed, the pottery market changed, and Fielding's & Co. acquired Shorter & Sons Ltd, a company with a similar history to Fielding's but who had been experiencing financial problems. Fielding family involvement with the business finally ended with the retirement of Abraham Fielding's grandson Reginald (Reg) Fielding in 1967, and during the 1970's the gradual decline of the British pottery industry and then the recession of the late 70's and early 80's finally took its toll, with the Devon Pottery finally closing at the end of 1982.
Condition: Very Good for a vintage vase, no cracks or chips on the vase at all.
There is some minor staining on the interior of the vase itself.
The gold trim and colours on the vase are still in very good condition.
Price: R 595.00 Inc Vat.
