Lot Details
tapered squat wide form with curved and tapered thickness handle. Lustrous green glaze, impressed potter's monogram to base. Height 220mm. Note: Peter Hutson, an engineer by training, arrived in Wellington on the "Christian McAusland" in 1872. He established a brick and pipe manufacturing business in Waring Taylor Street in 1883 but moved it in 1900 to Wallace Street, where the factory and kilns eventually occupied the whole block between Hargreaves and Rolleston Streets. The factory closed in 1930, a victim of the Depression; only the manager's house remains on the corner of Wallace and Hargreaves Streets.
