About this object
A photograph of boy being given ‘Free replacement’ china in a shop.
This photograph shows a boy being presented with some china, while Crown Lynn Assistant Sales Manager Barry Grant looks on. The sign behind reads “Free replacements.”
This was probably a publicity shot taken to promote Crown Lynn’s ‘Free replacement’ policy. The policy allowed people to have free replacements for accidental breakages of pieces in their ‘stock patterns.’ Initially there were five stock patterns: ‘Autumn splendour’, ‘Golden fall’, ‘Shasta daisy’, ‘Green bamboo’ and ‘Fashion rose’ although the number of stock patterns was soon increased. The scheme was advertised in magazines like ‘New Zealand Woman’s Weekly’, and sales skyrocketed.
