Hanmer Pottery
Jim and Naomi Nelson set up the pottery in the early 60’s. Hanmer pottery was biscuit fired and then dipped in white glaze, dried and hand decorated and fired again.
Jim made up his own colours - which, at the time were very distinctive - blues, greens etc.
Pottery was glazed (white) and when dried, decorated - mainly variations on a leaf pattern.
Pottery was mainly table-ware - bowls, jugs, mugs, casseroles, honey pots, butter dishes etc.
All were thrown on a wheel - and dried leather hard and turned. Jim made own tools for turning etc and also designed wheel so we could stand up and throw - much easier on the back.
They would make batches - normally about 50 at a time - and throw to a gauge - so same size and shape.
The Hanmer Potter mark is a triangle with H in the centre.
It should be noted that Jim and Naomi had high standards for pottery - only high standard would be sold. They wouldn't sell seconds. Any pottery not of a high standard would be broken/smashed."
