Christopher Vine Temuka

YASSSSS!!!  Found a piece at last.  I'm surprised that this ware hasn't been added to the site already, as it's rather popular on TradeMe.
This has been handpainted and if anyone knows who the designer was please let us know.  All I could find out was that this range was made in about 1995.  Though I did find an Architect/Potter with the name of Christopher Vine in Nelson and perhaps he is the connection?

Ev funny, I never thought to put this on the site either! I have a little lidded pot that is marked Christopher Vine Design made in Australia. The text of Christopher Vine Design is the same font as my Temuka examples.  I am having a bad moment with my camera at present so can't show a pic.

I will be interested to find out the story behind that too, as I haven't found much on the net, but I haven't spent a lot of time looking either.

Also I found http://www.cvd.com.au/ and there is a facebook page https://www.facebook.com/cvinedesign and a photo! http://www.tplicensing.com/brands/christophervine/default.php

This is my massive Christopher Vine Quiche or flan dish. I love it because it is 55mm high and 260mm diameter, so a better size that most on the market. Same stamp as Ev's jug.

When first looking for info on Christopher Vine, I found a potter-architect in Nelson.  I have a strong feeling this auction is one of his pieces.  Not to be confused with the Australian Christopher Vine label.

How pleased was I to find a cup and saucer to match my sweet little jug for $2 !!!
The cup has a raised NZ on the base and the saucer has a shop sticker that says $34.95, so I image that would be for a full set ...?

Hoping these come through. We use a apple computer and these tend to differ from PC's.n If these come through they are for the gallery.

All of your photos came through ok nana and I will add them to the Gallery when I get my computer back from being fixed. Thanks

Cup and saucer decorated with houses /buildings the way a child would draw them:
