What an amazing find!!! My eyes were darting everywhere looking for eggcups and ginger jars!!

Now that's what I call real mass production pottery.....
So many familiar shapes ...... everywhere ..... and ever so interesting even for me!!
Yes I saw the peacock

Ev, that's amazing. And what a good source of dating info.

Some more archive film footage that Tony found ....
just putting it here for future reference:

[15:42:52 30/12/08] @ TonyK : The 15 include footrage where Crown Lynn is in the background in movies etc CLP films are F9292, F25898, C15797, F2079, F26232, F10881, F687 and F86060

By the way the site for the Film Archives is :
http://data.filmarchive.org.nz/search/results.php#

and that shows the 5 listings that I could find......

This amazing old film footage of Crown Lynn from 1949, plays non-stop at the Crown Lynn Exhibition.

If you can't get to the Exhibition to see it, just click onto the link in the first post.

Sue Carmont, David Jenkin's daughter let me know that the person working on the Toby Jug was Peter Cooke.

I just watched the film from 1949. Fascinating! Such strength to be able to churn out those vases from the wheel so quickly!

Check out the wreath for a grave site in the middle of this shot at 31 seconds!!!

I had never noticed it before, but saw it at the Crown Lynn Museum yesterday along with all sorts of other goodies !!!

I had seen mention of these before.

The Teapot in front of the wreath looks different too,
does it have a ring handle on the lid?

I don't think I've seen that teapot/coffee pot before

Is it the crimped edge range Teapot? its very delicate looking..
The serving dish looks like this one..

I saw that covered dish at the Portage Museum the other day !!!
Also a ring vase that had what looked like a candle holder in the middle ...
Do we have that on the site Kat?
