A striking hand-decorated ceramic jug by Crown Devon, featuring a bulbous form with a gilt handle and spout. The rich turquoise ground is overlaid with cascading gilded patterns, stylised floral motifs, and jewel-like enamel accents in vibrant purples, greens and reds. The design is highly decorative, with a painterly quality reminiscent of Art Nouveau and early modernist influences, making this piece as much a work of art as a functional jug.
Crown Devon, produced by S. Fielding & Co. in Stoke-on-Trent, England, was established in the late 19th century and became one of the most respected names in British ceramics. Renowned for their innovation in glazes, hand-painted finishes, and richly decorated wares, Crown Devon pieces were popular worldwide throughout the early to mid-20th century.
