Connection - Kermiko, Sunnyvale, Pacific Originals

The other day I picked up this Geneva Finance mug... the graphics show a happy borrower rushing off with $2000 to buy a car.But look at the base. Kermiko Pacific Originals.




And here is my Pacific Originals sugar pot.




And here is my identical Sunnyvale sugar pot..




Yet another connection among these commercial potteries. I will try to put links here to the Sunnyvale and Kermiko topics. http://newzealandpottery.forumotion.net/t2577-kermiko-potteries?highlight=kermiko

Extremely interesting thanks Val. I went to the Sunnyvale pottery in Avondale to check it out one day and it was filled with brightly painted ware like that lidded pot. Bruce Martin and Lee Fraser were busy working away like busy bees. Now we have to find out just how these potteries were connected !!!

THe fish designs that splashy introduced were copies of Kermiko designs who brought the copyright from Sunnyvale.  cheers  Larry
