Why buy new, when you can buy old!

A while ago my friends Emma and Alana started my Crown Lynn collection for me buy gifting me a pink Crown Lynn colour glaze cup and saucer. Now I have been slowly building up my collection... as I am but a poor student it is taking a while, but I am happy with my progress so far.

I like the Crown Lynn, because each piece is like a little bit of New Zealand history... and the colour glaze is my ultimate fav. (Speaking if which this seller has now unfairly 'blacklisted' me on trademe just because I asked her if she would sell these cute egg cups as a set. Then I asked her why not and now shes blocked me from bidding!! Gee Wiz!)





I found some new pieces today, but will have to wait until payday to purchase them, here is hoping someone else doesn't beat me to it!

  2. crown lynn is actually fairly cheap if you know where to look. Try Cats protection League, they will let you fill a bag of cups and plates (once i put a tea pot in) for $5.. OR the Addington Op-shop had a basket of crown Lyn saucers and tea cups for 50c a piece... usually they are light yellows and green ones but it really depends ... I got all my tea cups from random places around chch over a few years and the are all green and cream coloured and the most i have ever paid for one was $1 with a saucer that didn't match but had a wonderful pattern on it.

  3. Yes, pink is the rarest one, and this one is super glued because it broke :-(

    Thanks for the shopping advice TJ, I will look those places! Cause the place I looked it was $4 per piece...I assume you mean the Sallies in Addington?
