Re: Beach Artware thoughts....
Paeroa.
I saw a lovely green Beach coffee/tea pot and 6 matching tapered mugs all on a custom timber "tree" today at Paeroa ... forget the shop name but second on left coming from Ngatea ... then a Clay Craft set at Junk & Disorderly, with a pot like Val's blue one (derivative of the hand-potted Beach one) and belly mugs, but in the blue and brown glaze ... $45 each set I think ... then at the "laundrette" shop half a dozen or more pieces of the Beach green including some large pieces (utensils jar etc) all for just $30.
I stupidly left the iPad in the car so sorry for no pics.
[I have run out of room for storing such quantities of pottery so settled on buying a new Orzel two-finger mug (different surface modelling and altered handle) bringing my different Orzel coffee mug shapes to seventeen ... but I probably won't get to post that until next year.]

DS Milk & Sugar
These two have the typical Beach base and are inscribed "DS". Any thoughts?

Re: Beach Artware thoughts....
Mike these are nice. And they look like they are almost certainly from the range which i believe to be Beach. And of course DS could well be Daniel Steenstra.. but all this is still conjecture until we can find someone to confirm. One of my projects for 2015 perhaps...

I thought I had stopped buying Beach but I like this one.
I think it ticks the boxes.
200mm H
Usual base, no marks
I had to play with these photos as none of my efforts produced the right colour of green. I have pumped a bit more green in to bring it as close as I can to a true rendering. You can see my usually bright red towel background now looks magenta.

Re: Beach Artware thoughts....
Wow it's great to see other colours and I agree that it ticks all of the boxes.
Re: Beach Artware thoughts....
I think this one belongs here.

Re: Beach Artware thoughts....
I agree haselnuss.
I found these lovely cups today at Sallies. Just bought the one. There are different sized bases and tops but otherwise they don't appear to be handpotted.
about 3 inches across and 2 1/4 high
You can see what I paid. I would have had the lot but there's just no room.
Still plenty for someone else to have a good set.

Re: Beach Artware thoughts....
Thanks Jeremy, today I weakened and bought two of those green cups. I believe they originally would have had saucers. They are rather cute and I do like that green glaze.

Re: Beach Artware thoughts....
I've really wanted one of the large Beach? ewers and have only seen them in brown for sale. At $6 I did buy this one.
And an orange lollies jar and candle holder.

Re: Beach Artware thoughts....
There is one of those large bottles locally with 6 goblets and they are asking $75, so bravo well done for that price!
Re: Beach Artware thoughts....
I have picked up all of the orange pieces in this thread for the Gallery, but need help with the other glazes. Are they Beach or are they not? I'm quite sure some are
