Show us your mugs .... Crown Lynn of course ;)

Interesting that this is dated 1990 when Crown Lynn folded in 1989.

I imagine they would have been produced well in advance of the games

Indeed, but quite curious nevertheless.

What a waste of advertising when the company has already gone belly-up!

I have not seen that pattern before-- "Abstract pattern"? for the no-name gallery

9cmd snooker lid/coaster what shape number is this?  

with a bigger CL for Barbaras Coaster/Lid shape 4049

This rang bells immediately I saw it .... found it in the 1988 Catalogue.

Mugs for Males
D.84000 INDOOR GAMES COLLECTION (6)

0966/1 is the set number which consists of a Mug and Coaster.  
The pack contained 6 sets.

So we have a pattern number, but not a shape number and the records stop at around 1984 so these won't show up in them.  At least we have a pattern number and I wonder what the other 5 patterns look like?
Thanks Kat

Edits to add that the Portage site have Backgammon, Chess and Darts and this snooker makes 4, so still 2 more to find.  One other and Crosswords!

remind me to take the photo off after you have seen it ... its not my image!
Backgammon - Its looks like

My husbands Spider-Man cup. He calls it Spidey.

They are on a different mug shape but would this Cards Mug & the Dice Mug of Thelmas(first pic in this thread) be part of the indoor games series above or is this another series of Games Patterns?   they are all black & red on white print.

Kat the Indoor Games collection includes a coaster like that Backgammon set and I would say that they will all be that shape as well. There could be a cards one for sure.

Wondering if anyone had seen or heard of a CL mug featuring a large image of the All Black Don Clarke and some history of his career on the back. No markings but looks similar to the Lion NZ Whitbread earlier in this post. Cheers

    
No producer name on this one, but presume a Papel or similar

That is too funny and I wasn't expecting that

The only listing in the Database that I can find is:
Smurf Q11 and Q11/5    
I will have to check this out in the Deco Advices.  
Does anyone else have a Smurf pattern name or number?

Ev, do you have a saucer for your teal jumbo?
I can get one from Jill if you want.

Annie Mug with different pattern to the one pictured in CL Collectors Handbook.
This mug doesnt have the Annie backstamp just Made in New Zealand.

The New Rules of Golf with Made in NZ & Papel Japan backstamp.

So true.

Neat retro Flowers

very groovy baby.. yeah!
I have this in a 3019 cup with saucer. (I think)

I think the first and second are new but I think I have seen the sign language one before. As I have just acquired some nude lady mugs to go with my recent tiki mug purchases (they seem to fit the definitions) I could not resist this one from CL on TM.

nude lady, NZ flags, sign language

The flags mug is a bit faded but the other two are perfect.

Notes: the colour of the nude lady mug in the photo is reasonably accurate: it is apricot. I have a coffee jug in the same colour. The sign language mug is a pale beige speckle. Kat thought the flag one was worn but I said faded. To be honest I haven't examined it to find which is correct. Tomorrow.

Ev Edits to add that the Sign Language mugs were made for the 1989 World Deaf Games held in Christchurch.

Thanks Jeremy, I've seen a few different nude lady mugs, also the sign language one, but not the NZ Flag one. I've added them to the No Names Pattern Gallery.

Couldn't resist this odd glaze.

(Made in New Zealand on base)

I'm curious about the process: is this a double dip in blue glaze?

I think this mug may have faded.
Second picture taken as pattern lost in the triptych.
Look closely to see the white outlines.

I would say from experience that the blue glaze has been put on first and then the white glaze has been put over the top of the blue part way. It's a nice contrast.

Ev, I'm so used to CL white being clear glaze over white body that that did not occur to me but now you say so I can feel the thickness change between colours work for your description. Also there is a white pooling at top handle junction.

One other thing about this blue mug which may have bearing on 3050 vs 3051:
It has the wide footring but it is not raised (the usual half a mil sort of thing) from the body as on my other 3050-etcs but flush with the blue glaze. Could just be the glaze is thicker than usual but I thought it worth a mention.

Generally I don't like diagonal dipping but this blue is so yum.

Do these latest two belong in no name gallery?

I've put the Lady by the Window into the Gallery, but the blue/white isn't a pattern as such, it's what is known as a double dip of glazes, so I'm not sure if it will have a name or not..... ?
