McAlpine Hussmann 90th Anniversary Series
Numbered 1 – 500. 250 in Ivory and 250 in Turquoise.
Crownlynn.Kiwi congratulates McAlpine Hussmann on their fantastic achievement.
“We are proud to be making this range, as our predecessor Crown Lynn also.
As a maker, and working with the awesome legacy of Crown Lynn, at times I find myself caught in a timeless space, working the racks that 70 years ago were making similar items; where there were 100’s now there are few, I am playing a part in a story that will be viewed back, in the future…
This series is a vindication, in a sense, of stepping into this role, while spending years gaining approval to make as Crownlynn.kiwi. The McAlpine Hussmann commission is the validation; this is a journey that constantly humbles” – Mathew Nisbet
This Series is best summed up in the words on every presentation box.
Crown Lynn / McAlpine Jug
As McAlpine Hussmann proudly celebrates its 90th anniversary, we are delighted to share with you a special memento of its significance milestone; your own McAlpine Jug.
This jug is more than just a beautiful piece, it is a tangible link to a remarkable history, intertwined with the very fabric of New Zealand’s industrial and domestic heritage.
You may know of, or even own, an original Crown Lynn McAlpine Jug. These iconic jugs, produced by the beloved New Zealand pottery manufacturer Crown Lynn, became a staple in homes across the nation in the 50’s and 60’s. They were a testament to enduring craftsmanship and play a quiet yet significant role in daily life, gracing kitchens and dining tables for generations. The original McAlpine jugs embodied a spirit of reliability and a distinct Kiwi character – values that resonate deeply with McAlpine Hussmann.
In gifting you this new McAlpine Jug, we pay homage to that cherished legacy. It represents the enduring spirit of McAlpine, a name that has evolved and thrived for 90 years through dedication, innovation, and a commitment to excellence.
We hope this jug serves as a reminder of our shared journey, our history, and the exciting future we continue to build together.
Thank you for being a vital part of the McAlpine Hussmann story.
