Crown Lynn

I found these two Kelston Nirvana plates for a dollar each in an op shop recently.   Can't remember ever having seen the delicate pohutukawa flower pattern in its heyday but it suits my desire for a change away from my usual china and former penchant for blue and white.  

The vase which belonged to my Christchurch aunt  has one of the fractionated marks,  used to indicate the type of glaze and firing method.   Our front garden is a riot of dahlia and hibiscus flower and foliage and this vase suits both.

The cat ornament belonged to Aunt Dorothy too .  Our cat Malkovich would not tolerate a red bow around his neck.
