Australian MCP Mingay / (Modern Ceramic Products), 1946-57 Sydney

MCP (Modern Ceramic Products) commenced production in Redfern, Sydney in 1946. The company was founded by Tom and Jean Mingay, who had previously worked in the pottery industry in England.

The company produced a range of high-quality ceramic products, including vases, bowls, and figurines. The company was known for its innovative designs and use of new production techniques, such as slip-casting and the use of modern glazes. In the 1950s/early 1960s, MCP produced a large range of Disney cartoon figures under licence from Disney. Some were based on American designs, others were created by MCP. The pottery also produced a range of figurines, which were highly detailed and often featured animals and birds. These figurines were also very popular and are now considered highly collectible.

Despite its success, MCP Mingay closed its doors in 1957 due to increasing competition from imported ceramics and a lack of investment more... in new equipment. less...
