Pottery purchased in Te Kauwhata 1978 - by Brian Gartside
My husband and I bought a full dinner set from a small shop in Te Kauwhata in 1978. The pieces have no makers mark but were definitely NZ made. Any ideas?

Hi Karen welcome to the forum!
This looks like a plate by Brian Gartside, a great potter, to see more examples of his work, check this link.

Possible Brian Gartside
I wondered for a long time if it was Gartside but I don't think it is. I have a few of his pieces and Brian always has some sort of mark or label on his work and his style is just a wee bit different to this I think.

You plate was familiar! I have one too..next to another plate I have marked Ramarama
I still think this maybe early Brian Gartside. What do others think?
You maybe able contact him to be totally certain.

I should probably clarify at this stage that the set I purchased consisted of 50 pieces - plates, bowls, casseroles, cups and saucers, gravy bowl meat platter - you get the picture. Didn't think Gartside did large sets.

I agree with Kat, that you should contact Brian to see if he made your set, as that is the style he used back then.

So definitely not Brian Gartside, thanks Brian for the quick reply.
