The Huia Rode... - 16 cm small side plate - Stamped Titirangi - Bone China

The Huia Rode...  small side plate.

These plates are currently available in extremely low numbers.  

A playful take on our history and our community.  

Why the ellipsis? ... I use this with reference to the idea there could be deeper meaning to consider. Perhaps it is a simple play on words, a homophone of a well known road in Titirangi. Perhaps this is a memorial to a lost warrior, a reference to one of the many fauna lost as a result of human influence on this land. The meaning is open to interpretation.

The stamped mark is based on an actual cancellation mark from the Titirangi Post Office circa 1917 to 1935, at some point the original must have been physically stamped in that location. While I did change the date to December 25, the mark is closely historically accurate to the original.  It is unknown where exactly the the Post Office was during this time but records say is was connected to a shop in the village area. 

All plates are slightly different but follow the design of the pictured plate.

Other design elements:

There is also a detail from the sculptures in the Titirangi roundabout.

Somewhere on the back of every plate is a small weta.

The decorations are individually applied so plates are slightly different but follow the design of the plate shown in the picture.
