A couple of New Zealand-made 'Crown Lynn' pieces in my Christmas collection. Made in the 1950s. Not everyone's cup of tea - I've been told they're "scary" - but I love them.
My father won two of them in a raffle in the late '50s. They sat on our kitchen windowsill for years, so inevitable one got broken. I can't remember how I ended up wth the remaining one but it's been in my possession since my late teens/early twenties.
In the 2010s I found another on Trade Me and bought it so I'd have two again. Though they have the same number on the bottom, they are painted slightly differently. I like that.
