Crown Lynn and Ambrico Ashtrays

This is an oldie and is marked with an inscribed "3" and a "15" over "5" fraction:

An oldie but a goodie!

Here are my ashtrays -starting with Titian

The lovely 1017 Crown Lynn...

Two lovely old trickle glaze ones with fraction marks

Little "Beswick' ashtray

A 70s classic big one

retro...



and just got one more today - Hardie Brothers Ltd, Whangarei - thought to have the number 73 on it...but not so sure...

Mucking around with Crown Lynn ashtrays atm and the one above posted by HeatherT 'A 70's Classic Big One' jumped out at me because of the glaze !!!

Looking for the shape number for this ashtray that I found at an Antique Fair yesterday ....



Must take a photo of the base...

Looking through the museum notes that I have to see what I can find on ashtrays....
Heather T's  Riveria ashtray could this be the 3615 ?
In the Deco advice book it reads  - Riviera, speckle and fantasy 3615 ashtray.
Although... I have a white ashtray - with MADE IN NEW ZEALAND on the base - 3 clips but spaced equally around the rim. The base is indented.  So not conclusive but a start?

Ev more searching into ashtrays... came up with more references to the 3615 shape ashtray.
1038 and 1045 both you have identified.
Lastly  - Ashtray 4611 shape - which takes you a roll edge flatware shape. Looking at the Fashion rose ashtray, this could be a possibility.
Thats all I came up with   

Hmmm it's earthenware not vitrified and I have a list of 45 ashtrays of which 12 we have identified. Only 6 are vitrified and I'm leaning towards the 860 Earthenware Small Ashtray, because it's an earlier backstamp in lustre. Haven't got around to taking a photo of the backstamp! Those ashtrays with the cars on them are early too.

I found an auction on Google for the set of 6 racing car ashtrays which are the same shape as the Fashion Rose listed by unouwanit and she mentions the gold gilt on them.

I have the Riviera shape ashtray with Lantau on it which was a 1960s/70s restaurant
It's definitely vitrified as will be the Riviera one and there are not that many vitrified ashtrays so this should be easy to work out.

1071 - as per the Portage Site - who has one of these beauties?

this one says 7670 which would come under Bristile ware - the musuem notes don't go that far...

We still don't have the shape 163 Ashtray in the Gallery and this shape is old and usually has the old Specials Department glazes on them, so my feeling is that this is the right shape.  There are no other shapes in this era are there?
I just need two others to agree with me now ......

Then again it could be this one that Val posted ... and they both seem to be early

Thanks Lindsay155
So there are hot pools at Matamata I gather .... ?

I'm going to put this into the Shapes Gallery as shape 163 everyone.
To qualify my reasoning I want to add that Val's ashtray doesn't have fraction marks like this shape and because of that it fits well into the early shapes.



Old stamp on the base:

Thanks to a shard on the Te Toi Uku site, I am now sure that this was made by Crown Lynn.

Many thanks to jamieoggy for letting us use his photos

This is the same as the Raleigh named ashtray and is from the same early day era.
It is made using white clay, so that dates it from after 1948, so I've dated this to c1950.

The solid blue glaze reminds me of the fabulous Blue McAlpine jugs made c1948 - 55.

I haven't found a shape number for these ashtrays, but will keep trying.
