Maybe this is the year of the Victorian Glass Basket for me! I will need 2 posts for the photos.

Same 2 baskets under UV light. The pressed glass one is Greener (English) c1888; the hand blown one is possibly Stevens and Williams (English) or Bohemian, c1890.

hi Granny, The candlesticks are from Crown Lynn NZ , Flower Beauty is similar to Pates Pottery and Regent.come from the same place but under different name.

Flower Beauty -
12 shapes which we are all familiar
with.
Crown Lynn is not credited for the pottery, as it was made to Flower Beauty's designs.
There are no measurements or numbers
mentioned, but all of the shapes were made in three colours,
brown, white and black.

Type in NZ Pottery on google and then search top right.. Flower Beauty...

Besides that I had a pair in black and sold them back to NZ.

Cheers

Jenny

Thank you Jenny for the info,but why do they have the made in Australia sticker if they are NZ.

Very confused ( But that is normal for me LOL.)

Hello again Granny

Flower Beauty may have or could have a story similar to  Terra Ceramics..see below

 Terra Ceramics  original plant was in Sydney. It was started by Mr Bernhard Fiegel a result of 25 years. In 1981 Bernhard died how ever 12 month earlier he had started negotiations with Trugrit Manufacturing Ltd to have his product made in NZ

Under licence a new company was formed Terra Ceramics NZ. using the same raw materials and clay body. They had new stickers made with NZ on them but were basically the same as the OZ stickers.

This company was run by Ernie Copper A qualified Ceramist.
The companys address was 18 Copsey Pl ,Rosebank Rd, Avondale, Auckland.

cheers

Jenny
