Here are a few sites about this pottery; S. Fielding & Co. Ltd., Devon Pottery, Stoke-on-Trent. Makers of earthenware. Trade name: "Crown Devon" ware. Fakes: Crown Devon / Fieldings are being extensively faked at the time of writing (2007). The fakes carry the correct backstamps. The more expensive pieces are being targetted - such as art deco pieces (especially Dorothy Ann) and novelties. The relatively common fifties pieces below are not faked.

Dorothy Ann was a character created by the British pottery manufacturer Crown Devon, known for her distinctive designs and patterns. The character often appeared on various ceramic pieces, particularly during the mid-20th century, and became a recognizable symbol of the brand. Crown Devon's products featuring Dorothy Ann were popular for their artistic quality and craftsmanship, reflecting the design trends of the time.

Who was Dorothy Ann indeed! There was a company, Dorothy Ann Floral China, that made quite intricate floral broaches in china operating in Stoke around 1954 but this does not seem to be in existence now. The name Dorothy Ann is now associated with modern Crown Devon pottery. Fieldings, who used the name Crown Devon from around 1912, closed in 1982 but in the 1990s a company in Stoke started producing pottery using a very similar backstamp to that used by Fieldings in 1930 (!) and their pieces are signed Dorothy Ann (amongst other names). In spite of the assertions by sellers on eBay, Dorothy Ann never worked for Crown Devon in the 1930s. This, of course, raises further questons; is the present manufacturer of Crown Devon a continuation of Dorothy Ann Floral China under a new name? Is there a Dorothy Ann working for the present manufacturer or is it made up name? All I know is that the use of a very similar backstamp is causing problems with collectors of the original Crown Devon. AHR

The exact value of a Crown Devon Fieldings chamber pot depends on the year it was made and the condition. The worth is also determined by how many of the pots were originally made.

To determine the age and value of a Crown Devon vase, first examine the markings on the bottom, as these can provide insights into the production date and period. Look for the specific backstamp, which often includes the name "Crown Devon" along with a pattern number or production year. Additionally, assess the vase's condition, rarity, and demand in the collector's market, as these factors significantly influence its value. Consulting price guides or auction results for similar pieces can also help establish its worth.
