Temuka Pottery (New Zealand) ceramics

Temuka Potteries is an iconic household name in New Zealand and overseas. The business began in 1868 as Temuka Brickworks, a brick and pipe manufacturer. The company had many name changes over the years but in 1942 the company was taken over by NEECO (National Electric and Engineering Co. Ltd) and became New Zealand Insulators, which made the electric insulator first for the telephone in the 1920s and then for electricity in the 1930s. In 1930, the company diversified into producing pottery, supplying electric jugs, and later crockery to the New Zealand Railways, and the brand "Temuka Pottery" was born.

One of Temuka Pottery’s best selling ranges was the Riverstone series of the 1970s, designed by Jack Laird, and the matt, brown Riverstone range sold millions of pieces. Riverstone fell out of fashion with a movement to pink and grey and then to the highly decorated versions of Temuka more... pottery which included hand decorated items of the 1990’s. Sales volumes decreased over the following 20 years as low cost import products flooded into the New Zealand market.

As from 2017 production of Temuka Pottery was relocated to Palmerston North. However the pottery is still sold in Temuka at the Temuka Pottery / Mendelson Barn and cafe. Temuka Pottery became a separate company to New Zealand Insulators and it continues to flourish and carry on the grand history that has gone before it. less...
