Crazy Christchurch Stonehouse ware by Terence MacGlaughlin

I couldn't resist this:  Someone said it might look good in a bach... but in truth it's not too bad sitting on my white shelves.  Along with a cup and saucer in the same pattern.  The teapot looks exactly the same shape as my Christine Harris which I have included for comparison.  The base is marked Stonehouse handpainted by Terence MacLaughlin. I have also seen another rather bold plate with the same mark. Photo below.






This is my Christine Harris teapot.  I am wondering if Stonehouse bought blanks from Studio Ceramics (who Christine Harris was associated with).


And wow I found my pic of the Stonehouse plate! It would have looked better on a white background.  This pic was taken on the floor of the Salvation Army shop Whangaparoa.

I found 2 cups and saucers today...

Hi, I've come across a Stonehouse cup in my Studio Ceramics cataloging project. If anyone has any thoughts about this cup I'd love to hear it. It is not a Studio Ceramics shape, it is much thicker and heavier overall.

Hi Katherine, it's definitely a shape by Terence MacGlaughlin
