Crown Lynn first started making nursery ware in the 1950s, but struggled with always being classed as second best to the hugely popular Bunnykins series by Royal Doulton. However, by the 1960s Crown Lynn’s nursery ware was well established and continued in various patterns until the 1980s.

The cup and saucer depicting a family in the countryside was likely made sometime between 1950 and 1955. The other cup and saucer is sometime between 1955 and 1970.
