Could this be CL. No marks other than a roughly inscribed 88 on base. Buff/bone colour. Lathed ridge at the start of the neck. I can feel the potters rings inside which is glazed.

Hi there, this is the Crown Lynn shape 88 that is in the records -

which makes me think that your pot is made by another company.

I have a picture in my Timaru pottery book which looks exactly like this vase. It shows an unglazed one. Apparently they used two clays, A softer Kakahu or a Mt Somers stronger clay. Timaru pottery examples are on a website for South Canterbury Museum, you may be able to see one to compare.

I forgot to add, the book says that these vases were mostly glazed on the inside only. Hope that this info helps.

Thank you so much Thelma and what a marvellous resource having that Online Exhibition of Timaru Potteries pottery on the South Canterbury Museum site!
Here is a link to the vase that Thelma mentioned -

[quote="Ev"]Thank you so much Thelma

Yes thank you both very much. I would say it is the exact same vase. I love the vase and am so glad it is one of ours. Cheers, Mike
