Opshopping this week ....

This so 70's orange and brown Orzel basket weave jug !!!



Three dramatic Blue and Grey Crown Lynn mugs and now I have 5



A Peter Stichbury salter,



A Titian Flower Beauty Elevated Pot and now that I have one in my hot little hand I'm determined to find the number for it .....!



But the best part was being asked by a Sallies opshop about a Ti Toki bottle ....
Is it Crown Lynn they asked as you mentioned one day that you research New Zealand Pottery ?  ..... Ahhh Noooo it was made by Orzel's in Drury, as it has 1980 on the base.  Then they showed me one of the limited edition Bird plates by Elaine Power ..... I didn't realise just how big they were!  They are the size of a luncheon plate!  They have 5 of the 6 and will list them on Trademe sometime soon.  They almost looked like they were made from a porcelain type clay!!  I was totally impressed by this gorgeous piece of collectable pottery ..... !!!!

Oooooooohhh!!!! I just love that salt pig, the other pieces are also lovely pieces but the Pig is a work of art.     

I'm loving that salter/salt pig too, Peter Stichbury is fast becoming one of my favourites (if he wasn't already).

I have the set of 6 plates with NZ birds on, yes, the quality is very good and although I have tried to have a favourite one, they are all equally lovely.
