This elegant and subtly glamourous work of later Art Deco design is by the British Pottery Crown Devon. The footed form is an excellent canvas for the semi-matt, satin glaze décor. The base glaze is a tone of Pale Jade green, applied in the layered, overlapping scale manner that is consistent with the Mattajade pieces and further elevated with gold edge highlights along every exterior edge. The overall piece is finished with the hand-painted flora and fauna band along each face of the dish. The band is composed of gold-edged black scales graduating into leaf clusters in Cobalt blue and gloss Sunshine yellow, finishing in a Wisteria-like bed of gold and lilac dots.

CONDITION
Excellent. There are no chips or repairs. There is mild surface wear to the gold and hand-painted décor and movement marks on the underside of the base that is commensurate with the age of the piece. Please refer to photos as they form part of the condition report. The underside of the base bears Crown Devon's stamp and the model number 'M162D'.

A BIT OF HISTORY
Crown Devon Fieldings (1870 - 1982)
The pottery was founded in 1870 by Simon Fieldings in Stoke on Trent but it would be 10 years later before they began to produce Majolica style pottery that was popular during the 1880s. Their product range began to expand in the 1890s, working with British United Clock company and they would continue to expand their product range as popularity flourished after successful world trade fairs in the 1900s. They sustained their success for over a century before sadly closing in 1982 at the time of the recession.
