Alternatively you could put your set on TradeMe and try your luck. Ming is not a hugely popular pattern but a set in good condition would be saleable. At a complete GUESS I would say it is worth somewhere between $50 and $100. Otherwise, you could donate it to one of the many charity shops, they would greatly appreciate it.

I was thinking of selling it, I didn’t know if it was valuable. I’m finding it difficult to price and now I’m wondering if the whole set should be donated where it would be appreciated. Any advice would be appreciated Lorinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880978462637000167.post-81490204050795536742014-08-02T22:47:24.095+12:002014-08-02T22:47:24.095+12:00Correction: Jeremy advises me that he accidentall...Correction: Jeremy advises me that he accidentally transposed the number of the later shaving mug. It should read 714, not 417.

I have seen very few, always undecorated and in the very early straw coloured clay. I too was not totally confident that it was Crown Lynn till it was confirmed by a couple of long-term dealers. And that yellow clay is pretty distinctive.

I am always concerned about unmarked items, but, I have seen one for sale with an Ambrico stamp. The straw coloured clay clinches it for the unmarked ones. I also have the later (417) shaving mug, in white clay, with the Ambrico stamp; there are other 417s with the 48-55 Crown Lynn stamp. Perhaps the fact that this is unmarked indicates it is one of the earliest ones.

I am a bit concerned to have this comment published with your email address, and I don't seem to be able to edit it out. Let me know if you would like me to unpublish your comment. It can apparently make you vulnerable to spammers. ANYWAY, the best you can do re Topaz is do a regular search of the TradeMe auction site, Topaz does come up reasonably often still. Do check for quality before you buy, as you no doubt know this pattern is prone to damage, and some plates are pretty scruffy looking. All the best with your search.

We inherited a Crown Lynn Topaz set from my partners mother and I have been trying to rebuild the set for some time - reading about your Topaz dinner plates hitting the floor left me cold ! Do you have any spares in your set you would like to sell ? Or do you know of where I might find more pieces ? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
