McHugh's made pots (and pipes) in Tasmania from the late 1800's right up to the end of the Second World War. You can find an intro to the McHugh factory at www.auspottery.com/mcHugh_history.htm McHugh vases have recently become highly collectable which is a great shame as has forced a halt on my collection for now. On the other hand it was always a mystery to me why these hand made beautifully glazed vases were so cheap! Henry Travena worked at the pottery from the twenties through the thirties and his pieces are usually the most collectable. Francis Manallack is attributed with creating the highly sought after colbalt blue glaze that features so porminienlty in the McHugh output.
