Some History:
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.
As the years went by and fashions changed, Crown Devon moved with the times and continued to produce both decorative and table wares, with ranges of embossed wares becoming very popular in the 1950's.
As the 1960's progressed, the pottery market changed, and Fieldings & Co. acquired Shorter & Sons Ltd, a company with a similar history to Fieldings 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.
