Went to the launch of the new handy Crown Lynn book by Valerie Ringer Monk - Crown Lynn collector's handbook at the Women's Bookshop last night. Bought a copy and got the author to sign it "Happy collecting"' she wrote!! Do feel inspired to collect a few more pieces. I don't seem to have all that many at present, at least not all in the one place. Just three pohutukawa dinner plates in the Kelston Ferrostone Nirvana range, produced in the 1970s, the book tells me. Oh and a couple of colour glaze cups and saucers languishing in the china cabinet. And a beehive mixing bowl. And a very old buff coloured chamber pot under the house. And a very old salt glaze bread crock that I use to hold umbrellas at the front door. It belonged to good friend Eileen's family who lived in New Lynn in the 1950s and 60s. So I do have quite a lot of Crown Lynn and more probably that I have forgotten I have.
