Polynesia and Autumn in a Sydney collectables shop

There are several collectables shops in King Street, Newtown, Sydney. I've got to know the owner of one of them quite well in the last twenty years. I went there today and although he was out of town he did have a big stack of Crown Lynn Earthstone in  Polynesia and Autumn patterns. It all looked new. I bought a plate that my photography does not do justice to.

Oh, wow, that is just gorgeous!

It's even better in the flesh. It is more red-orange and has lovely subtle textures all over it. I think Ev knows how the glaze was applied to give it both texture and varying thickness. None of the stock in the shop looked to have been used at all - unless it was very carefully and gently by people with plastic cutlery.
