Saxon Ware

This was the first line produced by Australian Moulding Corporation from 1929 – 1932. It was made from imported Urea-formaldehyde (similar to Bakelite but able to be produced in brighter colours). This was less heat resistant than some plastics, but unfortunately could give off a chemical smell or taste!

Evening news (Sydney), 20th June 1930 p.5 Saxon ware was first mentioned in late 1929 and advertised until 1932.
