A duchy, pronounced "dutchie", is a territory, fief or domain ruled by a duke or duchess. Historically, some duchies in Continental Europe were sovereign, while others (especially in France and Britain) were subordinate districts of a kingdom.
Traditionally, a Grand Duchy, such as Luxembourg, was independent and sovereign. Sovereign duchies were common in the Holy Roman Empire and German-speaking areas. In France, a number of duchies existed in the medieval period. Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom stills holds the medieval title of Duke of Normandy; the only lands still attached to the Duchy of Normandy are the Channel Islands.
In medieval England, the territories of Lancashire and Cornwall were made duchies, with certain powers accruing to their Dukes. These duchies are now held by the Royal Family (Reigning Sovereign and Heir to the throne, respectively), and have lost their political role.
In more recent times, territorial duchies have become rare; most dukedoms conferred in the last few centuries have been of a purely symbolic character. No independent duchies exist today; however, Luxembourg is an independent Grand Duchy.

My apologies to all those who mentioned a cooking pot. I thought it might be a case of " I only heard it spoken, and don't know how to spell it."

I may be betraying my ignorance, but what was the obvious? The pot, the duke's domain, or something else?

In the song My Old Dutch, this is rhyming slang for wife. Duchess of Fife, wife.

Could a Dutchie be someone from Holland? Or Germany?

Its a Jamaican cooking pot

Like the song "Pass the dutchie" by Musical Youth in 1982

Originally, this song was "Pass The Kutchie," meaning a marijuana pipe. Because all the members were between 11 and 16 years old at the time, the group's manager suggested a lyic change, replacing "Kouchie" with "Dutchie." The name change also helped it get airplay on radio and MTV. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL)

If this in relationship with the song "Pass the dutchie 'pon the left hand side". by Musical youth. I saw a program about it, which eplained that it was a shared cooking pot for things like stew, but had conutations with passing a joint around as well.

It is a pot or bowl but I think it also means a joint made from a Dutch Master Cigar.

It's a cast iron cooking pot or casserole. It's also a slang word for ganja or cannabis.
