Gallery of Crown Ducal coffee cups<\/h2>\n

<\/h5>\n
<\/span><\/h5>\n
Crown Ducal is the trade name of A.G. Richardson who began business in 1915 at the Gordon Pottery in Tunstall, North Staffordshire.\u00a0 In 1933 the company acquired the Britannia Pottery, Cobridge, it was redesigned and expanded and opened as a model factory producing wares from 1934.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
Many of the coffee cups in this gallery are from the Cotswold and Victory shape ranges which were popular whilst Charlotte Rhead was the prominent designer from 1933-1942. However, there are a few older patterns and shapes from the 1920s and some younger productions from the post war era.<\/h5>\n
