Gingham in pale apricot Pat.No.405

Came upon this pale apricot coloured gingham dinner set today. I hadn't seen Gingham in this colour before. The foreground of the photo make it look a bit cream but it was really pale apricot more like the cup upper right.

They are very nice Glenys. I take it you found them in a shop? A pity you didn't get a photo of just a plate, we could use that pattern in the gallery. Maybe next time you are passing? Would be great if you could

Er...... I did, but the result is unprintable! I'm still getting to grips with taking photos with the cell phone. I thought I'd taken my camera but when I went to get it I had left it at home so the mobile had to do.

Oh my just seen this set I love it! I have one Duo in this older style Gingham in this peach colour and it is devine! Wish I had stumbled upon this :-)

If you live anywhere near Christchurch you may be able to get it. Send me a PM if you are interested.  

I still covet this set pictured above.

My first ever Gingham is in this Apricot colourway and with the matching fatbottomed cup.

I've just added to my Ginghams today with the help of a fellow enthusiast.

So now have Teal, Black, Pink, Salmon and Olive...on the look out for more tho :-)

Thanks uno

The database shows Gingham Pat.No.505 in Pink, Orange, Black and Olive Green.
Now I'm wondering if your lot are the same pattern, as you have heaps of other colours...?

The backstamps should solve the problem they say "Gingham"!

Hi Ev

Def Pat 405 on the reverse of my Pink B&B the stamp is smudged on the Teal.  Saucers just say Gingham which is sweet.

Can 100% say I have Olive, Black, Teal, Pink, Apricot (Salmon) I will try and get a clearer picture of that back stamp so you can have certainty.

Thanks for that uno, I will add your colours to the Database

Thanks Ev, I tried to add photos but think I put them in the wrong places and then remembered this thread. Probably best I leave that kind of thing to you my comp skills are lacking  

Gingham reminds me of harry's checked pattern uno -
http://newzealandpottery.forumotion.net/t799-checked-pattern-cl-tableware?highlight=checked

Those are gawjus, I've never seen that many colours in the checked pattern.

Very similar I'd say the checked is a bolder pattern where as the gingham is "squiggly".

Initial thoughts are that the checked is earlier again, then this older style gingham and then the later gingham??? Any thoughts?

Yes I agree that the checked pattern is the oldest. There are several gingham patterns on the database and I will post them when I get home.

Database shows -
Gingham Pat No. 405 several colours
Gingham Green Pat. No.131
Gingham Black Pat No 155
Gingham Blue Pat No 130
Gingham Brown Pat No 142
These last 4 Patterns are all in the small check.

I was lucky enough to find Gingham 405 this week, in Oyster, pale grey, Green & 2 shades of apricot.
..saucers have only Gingham Pat. 405 backstamp sides have bigger Roydon Table Ware etc stamp.

Went to look for Sth Pacific shape cups to match my saucers & discovered that my greens really Teal & I need an oyster coloured fatbum..

The backstamp on the above saucers have a different( than above) Gingham pat no. 405 backstamp so I will add this to the Crown Lynn Backstamps Gallery

You are such a doll xx

Thanks Sweetie!
I will add Glenys backstamp pic as well, it is different to the other Roydon backstamps.
Hard to read & no mention of NZ or British made..it reads..
