Stoke-on-Trent ceramics: Crown Dorset

An entrance to the factory. I cannot tell what exactly it is but a door stopper was a lovely feature there.

  Alice's tea party stuff. In a mass like this, cute teapots becomes a tad eccentric.


There are some pieces that I really liked in the show room.


But what I fancied most was this old trademark. Crown Dorset is one of the long established ceramic companies in Stoke-on-Trent. This was hung on a wall in the office...it has 60's feeling. Maybe early 70's, would you say?


Crown Dorset. Here again, flower motif is royally reproduced from a fraying old template book.
