Re: Old Vase with handmade rose & leaves, is this Milton Pottery?
Hi Kat
I can't say for sure, but there is a "chance" this may be Milton. The green-brown majolica looks pretty close to some I've seen before. The doubt I have is the absence of any blue which would be a bit more typical. I'm no expert on this early stuff though.

Re: Old Vase with handmade rose & leaves, is this Milton Pottery?
Exquisite and I would say not hobby ceramics. The old pottery was fired on stilts.
We need someone that knows about old Nz pottery to come along.

Re: Old Vase with handmade rose & leaves, is this Milton Pottery?
& yes Its got a better weight to it than hobby ceramics but it is very clean cream clay & tidy gloss surprising for a 100+yr old piece of nz pottery & maybe just kept it in a cabinet all its life. our pioneer potters were making a great product.

Milton Pottery Shoes
10cmL x 6cmh old shoes I think maybe Milton Pottery too.
Chipped & Cracked & Alternately styled..
Slipcast they are covered with ceramic hail & have applied flowers like these examples in the Auckland Museum..

Soo.. Im thinking he body of these two vases are similar in shape & thickness, also the clays look the same, creamy white & smooth, obviously different glaze colour.
but same mostly the way the foot rim is cut in and has no outside rim edge.
The flowers probably applied by different decorators.
Just thinking out loud don"t quote me

Re: Old Vase with handmade rose & leaves, is this Milton Pottery?
Brian Ronson is still waiting to see one of these vases stamped Milton as he has been involved with NZ Pottery a long time and has never come across any.
He believes that these were made elsewhere.
