Crown Lynn / Russell Hobbs coffee perk? & Electric Jugs

Well, when I went back to the shop a week later it was reduced down to $15.

Thanks haselnuss for raising the possibility that blue Russell Hobbs percs may have been made here.

Something I found at Portage gives me hope that my "Temuka" kettle, seen below may yet be Crown Lynn. They have a collection of shards (from a kettle yet) in what looks to me to be an identical glaze. I have viewed images side by side but of course cannot post a montage using a Portage photo so you will have to view it here:

Here's my kettle again:



I have included the second photo so keen-eyed observers can see that while the glaze may match, the writing on the base is in a different hand. I repeat my earlier comment:
"The incised or impressed mark is by the same hand as the lower illustration in Val's Crown Lynn Collector's Handbook, on page 112."

The handle looks identical Jeremy.

Ev, I know you have looked thru all of Portage on line but until today I had only viewed by shape number or a vague search like "mug".

I know I went some pages thru then stopped so now I am working my way forward from the end. I only have 500 pages to go.

Shards can be fun!

The shard collection is definitely this shape of kettle so yes the handle will match.

The striking thing for me was both the colour and the mottling of the blue glaze, which I think is unlike a Temuka glaze.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out.
