As a NZer, the "S. Pick" rang a few bells for me - I'm not at all sure, but a possibility I would check is if this is by Seraphine Pick, a...
Sure, I assumed it was part of the stamp. I should have said "in writing", that's what I meant.
.... and just realised that is could actually be A23 not D23...which starts to make more sense ;)
Oh interesting! If you have it written on a piece, you'll be right no doubt. The Internet consensus is "Indian tree" but could be because that...
Thanks so much for that info! It's definitely the same design and overall colour match although the colours of my piece appear much more muted...
Yes, you're right Indian Tree is correct. My example seems to be a little different from the most popular style - more blue decoration, and not...
Thanks sorry they are up now I posted before uploading then they were too large so had to retake... newbie problems. Hopefully should be all clear...

Thank you for the word! Perhaps I could use "homage to..." when describing them too ;) you don't happen to have any clue as to where they might...
Personally as a non-expert but a lover of all jewellery of art nouveau/ secessionist style, I would put it under Edwardian/ Victorian. It's...
I found this good resource too - but still doesn't exactly answer my questions - no substitute for an expert eye to look them over IMO!...
Yes I have read this too - the thing is this is from the modern pottery which doesn't mean all the historical stuff was definitely marked - I have...
