Art Deco Coffee Pot, Crownford Burslem, Staffordshire 1930s
The clean simple lines of Art Deco designs are clearly seen in this coffee pot made by the firm ‘Ford and Sons’ during the 1930s. The angular form body is topped with the sweeping curved line of the neck and flush fitting lid which is matched by the handle and spout. The cream coloured glaze, with a light craquelure is decorated with gilt lines and a stylised floral border at the top and on the lid. The base has printed marks, a crown, ‘Crownford’ in script, and a circular monogram with the letters ‘F’ ‘S’ between ‘BURSLEM’ and ‘ENGLAND’. This coffee pot would have come from a small set, all decorated in the same style, with cups, a milk jug and a sugar basin, but other patterns were also used for these services.Burslem in Staffordshire was one of the famous six ‘pottery towns’ and immortalised in the novels of Arnold Bennett as ‘Bursley’. The firm Thomas Ford and Sons began its production there in the late nineteenth century, continuing until 1938 when the business was purchased by Oswald Shufflebottom who renamed it Ford & Sons (Crownford) Ltd. The trade name ‘Crownford’ had been adopted quite early on by the Ford family and was kept by the Shufflebottom family until the late 1980s. The ‘Crownford Burslem’ wares were mostly produced in the fashionable Art Deco style during the late 1920s and 1930s and this coffee pot is a fine and representative example of their work.
