For the love of Crown Lynn!










For those of you who are regular readers you will know that I love Crown Lynn crockery and Crown Lynn Swans.  If you asked Mr H he may say it is more of an obsession!

My granny cabinet is full with my crockery and I think I may have any mentioned in that post that I was "at capacity"........but its always possible to squeeze a few more in.  I do know that my collection is quite modest compared to other collectors and I'm constantly telling myself "no" when I see it in shops or online.

I came across these four Crown Lynn saucers and tulip cups last week.  I have never seen the pattern before but love love the retro flowers and colours.  I would be keen to know if any Crown Lynn collectors out there could tell what the pattern is?

They are all in excellent condition and the pattern on the saucers are raised slightly too, which again I have never seen before.

So after moving a few things around they are now sitting very happily in the granny cabinet.

  1. I'm not the biggest Crown Lynn fan, but have to admit I would have bought those ones if I had seen them. What fabulous saucers they have.

  5. Oh wow, what a find! Love the set and the pattern. They look really similar to the dinner set I inherited from my Nanna (well, dinner setting for two as my sister and cousin and I took two place settings each). I had no idea what they were so thank you for identifying them for me :) Mime are very similar to yours only in brown and cream. I love the raised texture too. You can see the pattern I have on this post... http://homely-one.blogspot.com.au/2010/08/treasures-from-nanna.html
    Enjoy your week ahead xx

  9. Love these colours! Have to admit' I have a Crown Lynn weight on my shoulders at the moment. Am looking to replace 3 brown Crown Lynn Forma plates, about 22cm after my little one accidentally broke one and chopped another at a Bach over the weekend. No love on trademe so far. Any ideas?

    1. I will keep an eye out for you. I would save a search on Trademe so you get notification as soon as anyone lists them. They will pop up, I guarantee it! xo

    1. I do tend to collect the patterned pieces - especially the retro patterns. I do love the Colour Glaze pieces though I'm always coming across (and falling in love with) ones I have never seen before. xo
