I haven't seen anything quite like them and the camera doesn't do them justice... One is a gorgeous reddy browny colour and the base... the other is a yellowy greeny colour - there may be more to come The Ambrico Specials Department Mon, 06 Jul 2009 05:59:47 GMT http://newzealandpottery.forumotion.net/the-ambrico-specials-department-f18/the-specials-department-51-vase-jugs-t594.htm#1422 http://newzealandpottery.forumotion.net/the-ambrico-specials-department-f18/the-specials-department-51-vase-jugs-t594.htm http://newzealandpottery.forumotion.net/the-ambrico-specials-department-f18/zana-s-specials-department-bowls-t579.htm Ev

They tried using a base glaze and then randomly putting on top of the base another two glazes.... bravo!

Their plant at Hobsonville had mainly produced pipeworks (1860s) but by 1906 were making salt glazed pots and urns, bread pans and storage jars as well as their core business of bricks and pipes.
