Pic's of Jim's Collection

Yay!.. Jeremy & I went to visit our 'offline' local collector friend Jim today.
He said he had some new things to see!! & WOW he has lots of big new shelves & his collection is looking amazing & has spread into his garage! .


this is a double sided shelf he has made for mugs..


& the other side looks like this!

hes found another stamp plate its on display with  CL Phillipines Vase.

this last is my favourite shelf

What a fantastic collection !!  Pleased to meet you Jim after all this time
There is a cup that I spy in the vitrified cups .... right in the middle that makes me think it may be an 832 E/W Breakfast Cup.  One day I would really like to see a close up of that one  Thanks for sharing these with us Kat xxx

Jeremy took measurements!

I spent hours on Monday trying to squeeze more Crown Lynn onto my shelves to clear my pottery table and I'm really envious of Jim's display shelves.

The cup on the left of the one in the middle is interesting me too ... the shape rings bells.

Another neat shelf pic from Jim's Collection!

Love, Love, Love it ..... ALL

gobsmacked! Thanks for sharing these images - what passion, delightful, thanks to Jim : )

Spotted Jim at Hospice shop yesterday. He told me he had a surprise for next visit, clue: "black". Jim's surprise was blown a few minutes later when I saw Bruce Sowry, a mutual friend from Antiques Club, at the Sallies. Bruce visited Jim last week and was impressed with his shelf of swans. Only missing a black one Jim had mused.

Jim's collection is constantly enhanced by finds from his daughters. When daughter Linda was delivering some furniture from, I think, a trademe sale she bumped a table or somesuch nearly knocking over, you guessed it, a Crown Lynn black swan. Linda offered exchange for the furniture and no money changed hands. Everyone parted happy.

Lovely visit with friends at Jim's today, his collection has grown huge, & it all looks beautiful. Check out the amount of gold on his new coffee pot & cups & random plates that match..& the pretty chintz dishes with round backstamp.

Oh my word those are simply gorgeous !!!!!!
With all of that gold decoration Doris Bird must have had a hand in decorating them :O

Oh wow just wonderful and I'm excited to hear that he will have a stall at the Crown Lynn Collector's Market, which means I will get to meet him at last

These are pics from last time we visited him. I need to go back Im sure theres more still to be found in his collection..

No better way to spend a wet day than a visit with Jim
This vase is much prettier than my pic






Is this a new shape Jug?..do we have this jug
I cannot remember the number was it 536?

Wonderful photos thanks Kat
We have the elegant Shape 610

Jim tells me the number is 638, which is already in the gallery.
I really like the beaded look.

Oh yes, silly me as I was looking at the other jug

Why is there not a year in all the post on this site?  It's extremely difficult to date any posts if there isn't one.

Thanks in advance.

It's a setting, you can change the format the date is shown. It only works if you are logged in, though.

Well that's a relief.  Couldn't have been easier. Thanks so much for your help.
