Kermiko copied English pottery too!

Kermiko copied English pottery too!

When I first saw this Kermiko Settler Collection mug (right) on trademe I wondered where they got such an oddly shaped handle from. Now I know. This English mug, also on tm, has the same handle shape and likely the same body too.

Copyright for these individual photos belongs to their owners, indicated by their trademe names. This montage was made under fair use provisions of the copyright act but will be removed if requested.

The Kermiko is actually larger however a google search showed me that the English mug comes in two sizes, the larger being big enough at 130mm to allow for 10% shrinkage in the manufacturing processes.



We do not have a picture of the Kermiko mug in the gallery so I guess there is none on site.

,[/Hi there Jeremy, Kermiko brought out 5 pottery companies and accumulated many many molds . when ever we needed a mold to do tests or samples we never used our own range molds, that beer mug was one of those .. I would say there were only two ever made cheers
