Re: Te Rona ...
Gosh I haven't seen anything like your pieces FadedJeans. I would like to add them to the Te Rona Gallery, but need you to translate the numbers etc on the base of each piece. How interesting to see another inscription on the base of the divided server Te Uma Kaha Te Wahi Poenamu !! You will have to do some research on Trade Me regarding value, but as I said, these are not your every day Te Rona.

I'd be happy for you do use the pics but what do you mean by translate?

Re: Te Rona ...
The letters and numbers on the base refer to the shape and the shape number.
I will have a go at working them out, please correct me if I'm wrong.
1. #1113/H/20
2. #W2 279
3. #1?1 743 [I can't work out the 2nd number at all]

The rootsweb piece on Lovatt—https://sites.rootsweb.com/~nzlscant/Lovatt.htm
—describes our gallery item Te Rona #17 Maori man mug—https://www.newzealandpottery.net/gallery/Te-Rona-Lovatts/te-rona-17-maori-man-mug-pic_8024.htm—as a spoon holder:
“Lidded casseroles, bowls and (very rare) spoon holders in the shape of a standing boy are known.” At least I don’t expect there to be two distinct items.
As a mug collector I have considered my collections inadequate for, among others, the lack of this problem piece, but the possibly that it is not a mug at all has given me some solice, which is not say that if one came my way I would not jump at it. My own ponderings on it were that it was, as described, a spoon holder, or alternatively a sugar bowl.
BTW the Te Rona gallery is great. I may have a few more pieces to add, perhaps next week if my recent experience of NZ Post is anything to go by. I’ll probably post on the commercial and studio pottery fb.
