These were made in Red, Yellow, Green and White in the 1980's. There is a photo of them in the records, but no name for them ...... yet !!! The Sesame Street mugs are in the same photo.

Jeremy is yours on grey?

Ok I've caught up with you Janice and found the page with the pattern names and the photo of the patterns that match that page. Yes please add the ones you have found to the Gallery using the same name that Crown Lynn have used. The horizontal bands pic is mine by the way. Great stuff and I know we have some of the others, but perhaps with different background colours.

found this one - Penryan

and Silhouette

but not fully sure as the glazes are all different
Hope you had a great lunch :O)

I agree that the last two have different background glazes, but I would add them with those names and leave off the numbers at this stage.  Fabulous posh lunch and dessert.

Have you added any yet?

These have gone into the gallery
For future reference and figuring out the glazes etc.
Portage Trust says
Penryan deco no. 96040 on a 3064 shape cup
Penryan on Ash deco no. 96040 on a 3036 shape cup
Silhouette on cork deco no. 96038 on a 3036 shape

Great!! I have found an array of glazes for the Penryan pattern in the Show us your Mugs topic.

Wooooohoooo this Groovy pattern is called Huntly Orange d728/02 !!!!

This pattern also comes in Rust d728/01 and I have a feeling we have it on the site!

I have this cup but the colors look to be reversed.

Do you think that could be the Rust one Janice? I will look at it when I get home.

It could be.  The main pattern is bright orange and the dots in the centre are a rust colour.  What paper work did you find at portage? Does it show colours. Also mine is a different shaped cup does that matter. ?

From looking at the Portage trust records, there are 4 patterns called Huntly.  This is another one. Huntly d728/03

Another ...


and another ...


and my latest favourite


Janice I know this last one is in the records somewhere ..... do you know where I can find it?

I don't recall it. ... but I'll have a look tomorrow.  It's a cool pattern 😊

Hello I recently found 5 'Critters' mugs in Canada. A wolf, a brown bear, a polar bear, a bison and a moose all in what appears to be unused condition. Is anyone able to tell me the year they were manufactured? There is not much info available on the net about them.
Are they rare? Thank you, Heather

Hi Heather, I haven't come across any information about when these were made. However the mug shape was first made in 1974, so it won't be any earlier than that. Crown Lynn exported crockery to Canada for many years, so it's no surprise to find these there. It's great to know what the other animals in the set are as we only have a photo of the wolf on the site. I would consider them hard to find, but not rare as such.

Thank you so much for the info. I will post a pic when I have photographed them. Heather

We have polar bear, earlier in this topic.

In 1988 ​The Zoo plays host to two giant panda bears, Xiao Xiao (four-year-old male) and Fei Fei (three-year-old female). More than 300,000 visitors see the pandas in three months.

Their visit raises $100,000 for panda research and conservation in China as well as funds for conservation projects in New Zealand.

Crown Lynn made a mug for the occasion
