Description:
A rare John Campbell majolica glazed earthenware bread plate, Tasmanian, circa 1890, together with a daily bread plate signed Glenn Campbell Tasmania, circa 1947, the largest 34 cm wide, 27.5 cm deep. Note: After John Campbell's death in 1928, the firm was managed by his son Colin. In addition to supplying the Tasmanian market, in the 1930s Campbell's Pottery exported handmade richly glazed art pottery to mainland states, where it became famous and enjoyed good sales. Pottery was also exported to New Zealand. Pipe production continued during the Second World War but the art pottery section was closed, although some pottery continued to be exported to the mainland until the March 1942. The section reopened in the latter half of 1945 when production was resumed by Colin's son Rupert, and nephew Glenn Campbell, but closed again in 1949. Trading as D & G Campbell, Rupert and Glenn took over pottery section in 1950, producing domestic and art pottery until 1960.
