Her patterns were not subtle — they were deliberate, confident, and joyful in a way that mass-produced tableware never quite manages. \u003cem\u003eMonkey Business\u003c\/em\u003e is one of her most beloved: eight teal-panelled scenes of tropical life encircling the exterior — a cockatoo with a flame-coloured crest, a cluster of bananas against botanical leaves, tropical fruit rendered with the kind of specificity that rewards close looking. Look inside and there is a single monkey, painted alone at the centre of the white glaze, waiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLynn Chase Designs operated from the 1980s through the early 2000s, producing patterns in Japan with colour depth and quality that distinguished them from everything else on an American table. Her pieces are actively collected and the named patterns — Monkey Business among them — command consistent interest wherever fine vintage tableware is found.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lynn Chase Designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monkey Business\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal bowl — eight faceted sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Porcelain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExterior:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eight teal-panelled tropical scenes — cockatoo, banana, botanical fruit motifs — red pin-stripe border at rim and foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterior:\u003c\/strong\u003e White glaze with single monkey illustration at centre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker's mark:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lynn Chase Designs \/ Monkey Business \/ © 1997 \/ Made in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent — colour vivid and fully intact, no chips, no crazing, no fading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOn the Table\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse it as a dip bowl at a summer brunch, a snack dish on a drinks tray, a jewellery catch-all on a vanity, or a standalone object on a shelf that earns its place by being impossible to walk past without looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Relikta\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom the Latin relicta — something left behind.\u003c\/em\u003e Every piece in our collection was found at an estate sale, a thrift store, an auction.
