Admin edit: There is still some debate over which egg cups are and are not crown lynn - I'm merging the egg cup topics back together again and you can make your own decisions via debate as to authenticity if you would like to.

We think that the Rabbits are likely to be Royal Art Pottery.

The two rabbits at the bottom are Royal Art pottery and there are also three squirrels very similar I sent also which are Royal Art too...

KSP stands for Keele Street Pottery!! I found a Sooty eggcup which I havent photographed yet and found the name on the base, googled it and found the name - also known as KSP!!! Havent found any other eggcups other than Sooty yet but I am on the trail!!! Razz

Guest Sat May 10, 2008 10:13 am

The sad little red dog which isnt up yet I have just found on an eggcup site - it is Royal Art bounce

Guest Sat May 10, 2008 10:14 am

I also found old King Cole and Bo Peep but all the site could tell me was that they were made in the UK

[Admin edit: I have deleted all egg cups from the shape guide until this debate is resolved]

if you guys could let me know which is which - I will rename each photo accordingly....and place it on the shape guide...

Krystal24 found "old king Cole" and "little Bo Peep" on an overseas site as English egg cups.

The Red Dog - Krystal24 has since found on a site which indicates it is Royal Art Pottery

Wow, this has been a really eye opening discussion.

I've got quite a large collection of eggcups gathered over the years and the "which are Crown Lynn, and which are not" issue has always puzzled me and I've seen many advertised in the past as Crow Lynn that aren't.

I've always liked the Nursery Rhyme ones and while I'm dissapointed they are not Crown Lynn, I still really like them as objects and they were all sub $2 buys..

I've also had a quick look at ebay in the "Egg cup" section and a number of the disputed ones show up with UK Sellers which I think is further evidence.

ie. RedRiding Hood & Wolf.

The "Monkey Head" one I've still not seen mentioned and that always seems to have a CL atribution.

Royal Art Pottery?

**collectiques** Sat May 10, 2008 1:47 pm

Guest Sat May 10, 2008 3:31 pm

Yes, the rabbit and basket are definately crown lynn! They feature in Val Monks book.

Guest Sat May 10, 2008 3:35 pm

Floppy Ears is right there next to Green Bunny! As I said the two rabbits, the three squirrels and the red dog are Royal Art Pottery. The rabbits have the mark on the base and the red dog i picked up off a UK dealers site describing it as Royal Art.

3 of the Egg Cups + the Rabbit & Basket are on display at the Auckland Museum section on NZ Design. (If you havn't been its well worth visiting, in addition to the CL, Titan etc. they
have so much lovely studio work on display as well)

I actually wonder having seen it up close if the Rabbit & Basket is actually an Egg Cup or a small posy holder, the basket didn't appear to have an opening that is "egg holding shaped" - its more rectanglar than round...

don't quote me on this but I think my mum said once they used to get easter eggs in them...but whether they were the CL ones I"m not sure... Very Happy

Guest Sun May 11, 2008 7:55 pm

Yes they definately used to have easter eggs in them, might take a number 7 egg but it is quite big - definately takes a marshmallow one!

Again research indicates the two examples are possibly Royal Art Pottery

Guest Sun May 11, 2008 9:47 pm

Boot and bird both Royal Art, two rabbits and squirrels. Smile

Guest Mon May 12, 2008 1:36 pm

Sooty is still to come, he is Keele Street Pottery
