The company that gave birth to Crown Lynn was the Amalgamated Brick and Pipe Company which later became Ceramco the owners when Crown Lynn ceased operating in 1989:

The Porcelain Specialties Department of Ambrico was where Crown Lynn had its origins.

Crown Lynn - the beginning Empty Crown Lynn - today

Post  TonyK Fri 29 Aug - 15:03

A number of contemporary NZ artists use Crown Lynn images in their work and one of the ones I like the best is OpShop. One of the group, Rudolf Boelee has a blog which features his work including recently produced Crown Lynn tea towels:

most are in Wellington, but if you think anything should be checked out at the Auckland Archives it's not far from me.

Crown Lynn - the beginning Empty Ambrico Hot Water Bottle

Post  HeatherT Mon 1 Sep - 20:45

The "beginning" also signified the start of the Crown Lynn Specials Department.  During the 1940s one of the pieces made was a hotwater bottle.

What do you think??

This electric jug also dates from the early period:
Crown Lynn - the beginning Ambric10

Its base is marked:
Crown Lynn - the beginning Cl_bac10

It'd probably be even more uncomfortable in bed than the hottie and more prone to leaking.

Crown Lynn exported liqueur bottles manufactured for Australian company Seppelts in the 1940s. They came in a range of colours including maroon, two shades of brown, green and white:

Crown Lynn - the beginning Empty hottie, hotwater bottle, no handle

Post  Jeremy Ashford Sat 1 May - 14:55

Ambrico hotwater bottle, hottie, without handle.
Same basic shape but no handle has been added.
Downward view appears foreshortened.
