Thanks to kayabraham for picking up on this rarity!
It was sitting in the Database just waiting to be found!
There is another similar one Muriwai d702 to find yet.

Now the interesting thing about this pattern is that it is the same as Focus d701.
Not sure how it came to get a different pattern name in Oz.
Someone will know and I hope they share that info one day

Originally Orewa because of the yellow sand and Muriwai because of black sand.

However when shown to the USA and Canadian sales staff they pointed out this meant nothing up there and the names were hard to pronounce. Hence the changes.

Wow thanks Dale !!

Are you saying that Muriwai is the same pattern too?

Sorry Eve, 2 different designs, one with yellow/gold colour the other with black.

The base glaze was Rusticana but I dont recall if the pattern was applied like Pine and Palm Springs as granules to Malkin stamped glue or in house decal.

Thanks again Dale.
The other similar pattern is Frisco d473 and it has goldie zigzags on a Honeyglaze background.
Neither have that Dorothy Thorpe granule finish.
Will this be the Muriwai pattern?
