We recently acquired a set of Crown Lynn crockery in the Capri range. Made in New Zealand, Crown Lynn was the largest manufacturer of pottery in the Southern Hemisphere up to the late 1970s, and the "Colourglaze" range was one of the most popular styles. The "Colourglaze" range was also sold under the names "Capri", "South Pacific" and "Caribbean Ware".
The range of colours is inspiring, with names like Pumpkin, Jade, Tropic, Duck Egg, Oyster, Clover, Ant Green, Coral, Cocoa, Citrus, Honey and Mushroom. Apparently, there are many other colours too, so my inner collector (not so inner, really) is all fired up! Here are some snaps:
