There’s something truly heartwarming about a Crown Lynn Vase—especially when it’s brought to life in ‘Mandarin Backyard Bliss’, a vibrant artwork by New Zealand artist Anna Mollekin. Inspired by Anna’s childhood memories of harvesting mandarins in Hamilton, this joyful piece celebrates our connection to nature, heritage, and home.

"I have a soft spot for vintage treasures, especially Crown Lynn, which always brings a wave of nostalgia. This love inspired me to create a bouquet with mandarin and harakeke flax flowers in a vase, making a vibrant orange centrepiece. I wanted to capture the joy and beauty of these elements together. The Harakeke represents New Zealand’s sunny vibes, while mandarins remind us of fond childhood memories, like picking them from our backyard trees. Growing up in Hamilton, we had a big mandarin harvest every winter, adding to the nostalgia."

Digitally drawn, the artwork features bright mandarins and native harakeke flax flowers arranged in the beloved white Crown Lynn Swan vase—instantly evoking nostalgia and charm. It’s bold, bright, and full of Kiwi character. This art print adds a pop of colour and a story to your space, making it perfect for anyone who treasures New Zealand design. It’s a beautiful way to bring warmth, heritage, and sunshine into your home.
