Does anyone know anything about this beautiful bottle that I bought on TM?

jan Sun Nov 02, 2008 8:21 pm

Potter was from Henderson. Will need to check my paperwork.
How much did u pay ?? Just working my way through this site as its the first time I have come on line. Still figuring out how to ask a question myself !!

Thanks Jan, I will wait until you find the relevant paperwork re the potter.
The artist who made the initial mould did a brilliant job!

If you want to ask questions on here it is very simple -
go to the topic that you want to post a question in -
at the top is the New Topic icon click on that and fire away
then press send at the bottom when you have finished.
Good luck Ev

Hi, havnt foundthing yet. Have it somewhere. Question on easy access though.
If I have some peices I want identifying. How do I 'upload' or attach to my profile so people can view. ?? The message I get when trying to start my own photo folder is I am not allowed. Will keep looking and playing around with site. Thanks. Will be back to you asap.

Hi again Jan - if you click onto any topic on here you will find instructions about how to add photos....... you have to register with servimg first - then you can use the Host an Image icon from the row of icons when you post a comment. [It's the one with a screen and a disk]
See how you go and if you want any more help just ask Smile

Hiya Jan

Uploading photos - if you need help just message me if you like ... 1st step is as ev said..register with www.servimg.com (the servimg site will save your photos to show on this site)...sounds complicated but quite easy once you get the knack...any problems just yell out. flower

I wonder if Parker Pottery copied Crown Lynn? or Vice versa? any numbers to the base of yours ...or just Parker Pottery?

They sure look similar...perhaps Parker Pottery has the moulds?

hehe I must have Tim's eyesight then...I've been flicking back and forth between the two of them and I thought they were the same mould...just a different photo angle ???

whats everyone else think?

**TimCaulton** Fri Nov 07, 2008 11:43 am

It looks like the same mould was used doesn't it??

funho1 Fri Nov 07, 2008 11:53 am

I was looking at the wrong face of ev's bottle. Apologies to tim - it does look same.

I heard that someone has some or many or all of the Wharetana moulds - that might explain it.

Hi again, lovely to hear about the bottle. I am sure it was made by John Parker (or he had the moulds) from McLeod Road in Henderson.

ev Sat Nov 08, 2008 4:54 pm

The bottle/flask has on the base:
New Zealand
Lincoln Wines
Parker Pottery

There are no numbers.....
I emailed Lincoln Wines and they replied saying that Norman Parker from Henderson
made the bottles in the 1990's and they contained Port and Kiwifruit Liqueur.

Have you ever heard of a Norman Parker Jan?
Or is that who you meant in your last post?
John Parker is a very well known and respected studio potter.....

**TimCaulton** Sat Nov 08, 2008 4:56 pm

There are at least 2 John Parker's who are potters in Auckland. Well just one now, but there were 2. Looks like there might have been a third?

jan Sun Nov 09, 2008 11:51 pm

Yes that must have been him...........Thanks for clearing that up.
