In one of the many discussions he had with Tom Clark Tom confirmed that he'd made them. Tom also told Gail Lambert/Henry that he'd made a blue ginger jar. The buckets of shards are now with the Portage Ceramics Trust and later research may determine the complete range of colours manufactured. http://www.nzmuseums.co.nz/index.php?option=com_nstp&task=showAccountDetail&accountIdSet=3384&Itemid=23 Very ...
