This swan is the same shape as the Male swan and as a researcher it's a very interesting piece.
This is glazed the same as a deer that I have in my collection and Te Toi Uku have a bisqued one.
It appears to have been glazed all over and fired on stilts.

Does anyone else have any Rainbow Ceramics pieces?

This entry shows when Rainbow Ceramics Supplies were operating, thanks to Ben Allam.
From 23 August 1982 to 8 July 1987.
Hazel and Wilfred Wrigley of 16/3 Moenui Ave, Orewa were the owners.

I have a deer made by this company!!

Yes that is a possibility, but I know of other ceramic studios that made male swans and fired them on stilts too. It's like a can of worms really.

A Rainbow Studios is in the 1992 Yellow Pages at 29 Linwood Ave, Mt Albert.
Very close to Western Potters' Supplies actually.
