Pink flowers on light blue.

Found these the other day in the little second hand shop in Wynyard Street in Devonport, I actually got seven saucers so if you need one let me know by using the comments box.

Find of the year so far ....

Belize pattern (thanks ValM) the first time I've seen it in six years foraging the second hand shops. I did see it on the NZ Potters web site.

$2 from the Sallys - (I gave them five) and in mint condition - so happy :)

Not Christine Harris but I bought this yesterday because it was similar- NZ potter - very small amount detail on the NZ Pottery site but not post mid 1990’s -  feel free to leave a comment if you know anything.

Island Bay Vase

Finally found a parallel sided vase in my favourite pattern and in mint condition 

Large vase

Large vase (have never seen before) 

Tamarillo - large set for sale

Saw these today (20/12/17) in the Salvation Army's new shop opposite the ferry building in Devonport. They seem reasonably priced. I don't have the space ......

(Candle sticks I have never seen before)

Poppy

Finally I've found a teapot to go with the the rest of my "Poppy" collection.

(Judging by the inside either never used or not very often.)

The others 

Dark pink on green platter and Daffodil plate

Found in the Hospice Shop in Glenfield, have not been in a while as parking is an absolute nightmare.

I have not seen this shape before

Absolutely "mint" Tamarillo vessel

Not to often do you find a really "never used" piece in the second hand shops. Not really sure what its is, too big for sugar, maybe a mini casserole.

Island Bay Vase

I already have this but if you are looking this is in the little opp-shop in Wynyard Street in Devonport

Blue flowers on dark green Jug

Found this in the Hospice shop in Glenfield, very good condition but at $20 I think I paid too much, not that I've seen another in the last five years.....

Pink flowers on blue - a teapot find

Pink flowers on green

Blue flowers on solid green

Tea pot found over in Birkenhead.

Roses

Also gathered over a period of time - and I'm given to understand this is called "Roses"

Only Vase I've seen of this shape.

One of the interesting things about this triangular vase is that the glaze is very pale compared to the other pieces and the flower painting is badly run on one face. This lead me to wonder if it was a "trail piece" that found its way out as its not really up to the usual standard of work 

I have a very large collection of Morris and James "trial" pieces they used to sell in their seconds department, quite a number which were not taken into production or ceased quickly eg their bird houses which did not survive the kiln very well I believe.
One example M and J  years later I found in talking with the original artist that mine was one of only three made - she had one of them. Its an awesome piece and I could never work out why it was abandoned.

Daffodil - gathered over a period of time

I particularly like these the blue glaze being reminiscent of the original work done by Morris and James at Matakana which I also found myself drawn too.
