Crown Lynn shapes made at Luke Adams in Christchurch 1969 - 1975

Hi Jeremy, all is correct and reads as the records read.
1076,1077,1078,1079 all have the same Coffee Mug with C handle description.
Someone has written Titian? beside the 1079, but they all show that they were made at Chch which is Luke Adams.

Is the 1057 mug (Mark Cleverley design) missing from this group?

The 1057 is on the Luke Adams list on the first page Kat ....

Sorry Ev I meant Jeremys photo montage

Kat,

I do not have the Cleverley mug in Basalt, only Lucow.

I was in the process on writing a want ad for it yesterday and got distracted.
Trade for Lucow or buy.

I need to look through my other shapes too now that Ev has confirmed those numbers as I may have one of them in a Basalt too.

Lol so if I find a 1057 basalt I can swap for a Lucow? sweet as..Im already looking

Kat, I had to check what your emoticon was up to but I see it's all good.

Totally yup re swap.
I suspected from your comment that you may have had one already.
I guess your out to build a set to match your Lucow Cleverley pot.

Another unmarked Lucow glazed pot that has horizontal lines like the soup bowl its pictured with..is this maybe shape 2052?

Interesting Kat and I will check it out when I can.

Kat,

I meant to compliment you on this when I saw you today but forgot.

So here it is: absolutely brilliant find!

So excited to find a wee drawing of your shape Kat for the 2052 in the written records !!! First made at Chch 10.10.69 There is also a little drawing for the 2051 which is skinnier and perhaps taller. xxxxxxxx
Well done!!! Bravo and Merry Xmas to us all

Well here is another one!  When I saw Kat's pic my brain trundled slowly back to an interview I did with Bebe Cowdery, wife of the late John Cowdery, when I did my first book.  She was losing her memory and her interview never made it onto the record, but she showed me these items which she had kept proudly for decades because her late husband made them...  One pic I have is of Kat's vase above, the other is this planter with a base.  


I found my notes from my conversation with Bebe - So Tom bought Luke Adams and it was a real shambles. Mr Adams must have been ailing for some time ant Pat Cotton the foreman just carried on. Bricks and insulators and things. Tom took John down and asked him what he thought about it. John didn’t say much about it. As usual Tom can be very persuasive, a very good deal etc,. (so John ended up leaving the Crown Lynn factory and moving to Luke Adams, which he managed for some years before moving to Royal Grafton in England.)

Absolutely Fantastic Val
Yes that is one of the shapes we are looking for and I recognise it to be the
1051 Oblong Flower Pot first made 9.8.68 and the 1052 base for 1051.

Edits to remove pic

How excellent that you remembered and then went back and found this pic.
Bless you and Thank you and you'll have a very Merry Xmas

Funny... I talked to Bebe quite early in my research and at the time these items didn't have any connection that I could see with Crown Lynn. I thought that Bebe had got mixed up with something else. How wrong I was!

First made at Luke Adams 19.8.69

Thanks to those that left it for me

So amazed to see this arrive already and all safe and sound and beautifully packaged !! 14.5cm wide x 13cm high.






This is the true colour and the Lucow glaze so gorgeous !!

 I saw a 2051 cylinder vase in Lucow glaze for $2 in a op shop window that was closed..darn it...So have to wait for my M-I-L to buy it for me & send it...
this is the pic I took with my phone from outside..

Oh no..

Boooo Hooooo
I was looking forward to you getting the one in your photo Kat .....

Its here! and beautiful in Lucow glaze but the rings not as obvious.
23cmh & smaller diameter than the cleverley jug

Wow that's awesome Kate. I will be so happy to add it to the Gallery later when I get home

They look lovely Kat.

Another two to knock off the list.









Offered for sale at $3.00 in June 1969 (about $48.50 in middle of 2017 money) and put on sale later at some point for 0.50 cents (about $8.50 in second quarter 2017 dollars)

WooooHoooo how exciting to finally get to see this plant pot at last
Thank you so much T&C and I will happily add it to the Gallery

Hi there, I'm a regular visitor to this forum and find the odd thing in opshops to add to my steadily growing collection. My latest addition is this medium plant pot that is stamped with 'titianware 1380 nz' in a beautiful pastel lilac. When I finally found the matching number in this shape guide I thought that you might like to use the picture a picture for the gallery...
