Crown Lynn - the beginning
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 - today
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:

Thought I would pop this in here....
Archway the NZ Archive site... has 5 pages of Crown Lynn listings ....
http://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ItemAdvancedSearch.do
most are in Wellington, but if you think anything should be checked out at the Auckland Archives it's not far from me.

Re: Crown Lynn - the beginning
This electric jug also dates from the early period:
![Crown Lynn - the beginning Ambric10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f30/12/50/66/01/ambric10.jpg)
Its base is marked:
![Crown Lynn - the beginning Cl_bac10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f30/12/50/66/01/cl_bac10.jpg)
It'd probably be even more uncomfortable in bed than the hottie and more prone to leaking.

Re: Crown Lynn - the beginning
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:
