Linn Ware took over from the Ceramic Studio. It operated from 1943 to roughly 1962 on the same premises in Olifantsfontein. It was founded by Sir Thomas Cullinan and staffed mostly by former Ceramic Studio potters. Linn Ware is characterized by its distinctive, deep green and turquoise glazes, although items were also glazed in russet, pale grey, cream, yellow, lilac, rhubarb, and mulberry. The characteristic luminosity of Linn Ware is due to the studio's particular double-glazing technique. The studio produced crockery, vases and homeware such as candle holders, lamp bases and ashtrays.
Linn Ware items have the name painted underneath, or are impressed with the initials L W or the LW logo.
