Temuka Pottery
Temuka Pottery
In 1931, under Manager Arthur Toplis, we diversified into pottery production. Then and now, organised as a separate business within NZI, Temuka Pottery is quintessentially Kiwi - a household name.
Our pottery offering had it's finest hour with the 1971 release of the Jack Laird designed Riverstone Series, the curvy brown Temuka Pottery which to many New Zealanders is still how they remember our brand.
We also made the famous NZ Railways cups/saucers which were generally considered to be indestructible.
Anyway, NZI is attempting to rebuild one of New Zealand's best loved brands - Temuka Pottery.
We're pleased to have reopened the Temuka Pottery Shop, in the historic Mendelson Barn (57 Vine Street) - on the State Highway Bypass in Temuka. The Shop is being operated under license by Charles & Amanda Scarsbrook, who own the popular 100% Homemade Cafe, also in Mendelson Barn.
The shop has traded strongly since its March opening, and three local production positions have been reinstated (Rose, Diane & Louise) to meet the increased demand.

In March 2011 we released six new designs and retired a similar number. Then in August we released a comprehensive set of range changes - new shapes (Salad Bowl, 1L Jug, tweaked Oval Platter), three design deletions, new designs (Stony Bay, Zest & Raglan Racer), with some shapes coming out of the range. Another dinnerset range (perhaps to be called Mount Somers) is being worked on to replace Capri Plum early 2012.
The entire Temuka Pottery range is available for online purchase at www.temukapottery.co.nz and deliveries of online orders are made out of the factory, not from the shop.
Website and shop prices are identical, but the shop does offer 'seconds' at lower prices from time-to-time. Seconds are not offered on the Temuka website.
