Australiana, Vol 36 no 3, August 2014

Produced from its premises in Launceston, Tasmania, Campbell’s pottery products were shipped to shops and agents in Tasmania, mainland Australia, New Zealand and as far as India and the USA. Examples can be found regularly at antique shops and auction rooms throughout Australia. The vast majority of pieces available today to collectors were produced during the 1920s to 1940s when there was a significant output of hand-thrown domestic and decorative pottery.
