I saw it in the Newspaper ads at the museum - then.. it appears on TM !

Heheeeee yes indeed ... time frame would be ...... around the early 1960's ??



I must check to see if I have nadine's email ...
Edits to add that it's not the trader I thought it was : (

Its on my watch-list.. tempted but "its not a cup" or "jug" I am really trying to keep to those items.   
Got a cabinet 'in the making'.. going to display all my stuff - it will look like a museum      

Thanks for that, its a pattern to look out for now.  
Send us pics when you get your cabinet sorted out!

Let me know when your cabinet is finished and I will pop down for that visit that I promised.  

I will try to get this as I've never seen it before and may never see it again!!

Wallah !!!!  I checked and this pattern was advertised in 1962, so I'm thrilled to get this piece.



The backstamp is in green and I'm hoping this will give us a time frame of sorts.

Awesum!.. I notice in the Advert above, Checkers is cheapest while Mardi Gras is the dearest(probably cause its hand painted) ..is Checkers a NZ designed transfer?  

I can't be sure about that Kat, but I wouldn't think so at this early stage. I know they did make their own transfers, but I have a strong feeling it was later than 1962. It would be great to find out when they started making decals at Crown Lynn.
I came across some info re the pricing of tableware and Mardi Gras and Fleurette were dearer because of the hand painting involved.
