Of Course Similar To The Crown Lynn Swan. History Of Below.
The Crown Lynn Swan, which was first made in the late 1940s, is not an original design. The shape was copied by David Jenkin, Crown Lynn's head designer, from an overseas model (Sylvac) when imitation was one of the best forms of flattery and copyright wasn't a concern.
David (Dave) Jenkin was hired by Tom Clark in 1945 straight from Elam School of Art. In 1948 he was made head of the Design department and remained a key figure in the company and Tom Clark’s right hand man. He was responsible for expanding the company’s design repertoire until his retirement in 1979.
Initially Dave was employed to translate existing English pottery shapes into designs including the early swans, (Sylvac) Along with railway cups and mixing bowls.
Not intending to burst anyone's bubble, But the sylvac swan can happily sit just as proud along side your Crown Lynn swan
