Aquila Ceramics was a New Zealand pottery company founded in 1972 by Cameron Brown and his wife, Jean. The company was based in Drury, Auckland, and produced a range of hand-made ceramic tableware, decorative items, and sculpture. Aquila ceramics were known for their distinctive glazes, which were often inspired by Maori motifs.
Cameron Brown was born in Auckland in 1929. He studied pottery at the Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland, and in 1953 he set up his own pottery workshop in Henderson. In 1965, Brown moved his workshop to Drury, where he established Aquila Ceramics. Jean Brown was born in 1933. She studied art at the University of Auckland, and in the early 1960s she began working as a potter with Cameron Brown. Jean Brown was responsible for the design of many of Aquila's most popular glazes.
