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
