This trivet is in excellent condition, we have research the mark on this piece of china and it dates between 1910 and 1930, we have researched this mark to confirm dates and would be happy to send you confirmation of dates. The condition of this piece is truly remarkable, the piece is marked on the bottom "Crown Devon", "Fielding" and numbered "0992".
In our research we found there are quite a few "clubs" that collect "Crown Devon" and that this maker of china is quite collectable no longer in business. So beautifully painted in floral motifs accented in gold tones this piece is truly stunning. We have offered a brief history on "Crown Devon" below for your review.

HISTORY: In the second half of the 19th century, a young man, Abraham Fielding, was indentured to a pottery firm in Staffordshire, England. This youth was to become one of the "Giants" of the English Pottery industry. He created a Company that for over a Century, supplied the United Kingdom, its Empire and most other countries in the then civilized world, with innovative china and pottery wares such as: Majolica Vellum Ware Lustre Ware Figurines Musical Novelties Art Deco products Fancy tableware Souvenir & Commemorative items.
In 1965 Reginald Fielding suffered a severe heart attack and in 1967 with his retirement, the Fielding family connections with the Company, came to an end. The recession period in the English pottery industry during the late 1970s and early 1980s took its toll on this once proud and prosperous Company and in December 1982 the works gates closed for the last time. Four years later all the buildings we demolished. But the legend and name live on in the wonderful products that are collected all over the world by people from all walks of life. Recent auctions at Christies, Phillips and other auction houses have seen record prices paid for Fielding's Crown Devon pieces. Interest in the Company and its products, continues to gather momentum.
