Background information

Fakes:
Crown Devon / Fieldings are being extensively faked at the time of writing (2007). The fakes carry the correct backstamps. The more expensive pieces are being targetted - such as art deco pieces (especially Dorothy Ann) and novelties. The relatively common fifties pieces below are not faked.

Black and yellow striped ware
Please email me if you know anything about this range. I have seen two-handled serving bowls in the same patterns. The the matt black is applied over a yellow glazed body which shows through in the stripes. The effect is of zebra print or melon skin. Earthenware.
Gaiety Grill
One of the best polychrome kitsch food designs from the 1950s. Showing humorous, anthropmorphic vegetables and sausages presparing a barbecue. Presumably influenced by designs by Piero Fornasetti (1955), as was Midwinter's salad ware. Earthenware.
