ALL SHAPES & SIZES - A LOOK AT VICTORIAN CROWN DEVON

ALL SHAPES AND SIZES A LOOK AT VICTORIAN CROWN DEVON

I have always been amazed at the vast number of patterns, shapes and sizes of items produced by Crown Devon over the years. I must admit that my favourite design period is the late 1880s until the turn of the century when the pottery turned out a wide variety of ornamental wares in dozens of different patterns and shapes.These days,never a week seems to go by without a pattern or shape previously unseen, turning up.The Victorian era is not renowned for producing the best in pottery, but for me some of the shapes that the Devon pottery produced in this period were the best in it's long history. Here are some of my favourites:-'
