Gibpat Metro Crown Lynn NZ

No number, clearly hotel tableware

Ev, should we post the backstamp in the backstamp section??

I recently read on Trademe that Crown Lynn bought Gibpat in 1968 and their name was added to the backstamp.......

that is a really cool looking vase

thought you might like a clearer photo of Metro backstamp

Thanks gloworm that's a great photo of the backstamp.
By the way what was this stamp on?

This comes from a dinner plate. Also on the lidded sugar bowl
I think these are around quite often (not rare) have one listed on TM at present
nice container too

Ev - did you see this? Mentions "Metro" and is a number that the museum notes does not have

Yes I did see it and I will write a description and add it to the gallery.
I have quite a few descriptions to do.

A Metro dessert bowl that I found recently.  
Can't see a number for this vitrified bowl and it is 181mm across.  
Can anyone help find the number for this please?
As this appears to be a whole range of vitrified ware, I'm surprised at how little there is around, even though gloworm says it's quite common, this is the first piece that I have ever found and it doesn't even look used.

The Metro Rimmed Oatmeal above is shape 4655
and also was recorded as a Cereal/Soup Dish.
I love it when I trip over the answer to unanswered questions
