Lot 156: A Collection of Mid-Century English Ceramics including a Crown Devon Pitcher and Denby Greenwheat Tableware
This collection comprises two distinct groups of mid-century English earthenware. The first is a large Crown Devon pitcher from the Modern series, featuring broad horizontal hand-painted bands in shades of orange, yellow, green, terracotta, and blue. The vessel is designed with a wide spout and a geometric, multi-angled handle. The base bears the Crown Devon printed mark, an impressed MODERN mark, and the hand-painted pattern number 1808. The second group consists of pieces from the Denby Greenwheat range, including a lidded pot, a small cream jug, and a bowl. These items feature the characteristic hand-painted stylized wheat motif in green, grey, and red on a cream ground, with deep teal glazed interiors. The base of the cream jug is signed Alleyne in script, for the designer Alleyne Cook.
