Clay From Golden Bay
Clay From Golden Bay
As a postscript to the earlier article about Golden Bay Clays one can add that it is an interesting fact that New Zealand tourists in the Pacific sometimes bring home souvenir pottery articles which have actually been manufactured from local clay which has been processed here and exported. This is one of the smaller industries of the area but "potters" near and far recognise the high quality of this raw material from which they can produce a wide variety of superior articles.
