For many New Zealanders, the legacy of Crown Lynn is its domestic ware.
At the height of production in the 1960s and 1970s, millions of household items were produced every year, and most homes had at least a few pieces of this distinctive crockery. Ubiquitous and affordable, Crown Lynn was the nation’s place setting of choice for almost half a century.
