Has anyone been able to match all 18 Colour Glaze colours to photos?

Hi there,

Im a relatively new Crown Lynn colour glaze collector and just wondered if anyone had matched the 18 colours with photos, some of the names make it abit trickly to figure out the colour and I will like to start ticking off the colours I have so I know which ones I now need.
Thanks
Ashlee

Hi Ashlee03 and welcome to the Forum

We have identified 14 of the colour glazes and you can find them here in the Crown Lynn Patterns Gallery under Colour Glaze -

http://newzealandpottery.forumotion.net/gallery/Crown-Lynn-Tableware-Patterns/C-D/C-D-cat_c59_0_64.htm?

We must get back to identifying more of these as there are way more than 18.
Here is a topic from when we were trying to work out the names of the 18 colour glaze colours -
http://newzealandpottery.forumotion.net/t2900-what-are-the-18-basic-colour-glaze-colours

I just took heaps of photos of different colours I have, but it is such a dull day, that the colours won't come out true, so will try again when the sun shines.

I have 2 saucers that are different colour greys, not sure if the forma one counts, but looks like Jonnos, d00092

There are also these 2, a mustard colour and a salmon almost, maybe coral???.
I also have 3 different greens, and a deep pink Pat 379, a South Pacific, not colour glaze marked, so may not count either.

I have come up with 34 different colours, but some of these maybe be the same colour and im just not sure of the name.
Black
Pink
Grey
Brown
Clover (speckles)
Pale pink
Primrose (pale yellow)
Oyster
Olive green
Tango blue
Cocoa
Light grey
Strawberry
Mocha brown
Lilac
Blue
Teal
Coral
Jade
Honey
Anyique green
Rusticana

If u could help me out on double ups etc. that would be awesome, i have no idea what colour rusticana or tropic etc is.
Thanks

Holy Moly, that are a lot of colours!

Hi Ashlee I don't know where you live, but if you get the chance go and see Alison at the retro shop in st Kevin's arcade off karangahape rd in Auckland. She has done a huge amount of work on colour glaze and what goes with what.

Great work Ashlee
