Doug & Joy ReDmonD ColleCtion
Doug was one of those obsessive collectors who once he started he couldn’t let go.
Born in Canterbury, Doug for many years was a door to door milkman owning his own run. He did not indulge
himself with too many luxuries, he did not have a modern TV, never owned a computer and his house was
modest. He did though have a passion and that was Doulton china for which he was obsessed.
Traveling throughout New Zealand and one major trip to England, Doug and Joy formed what became arguably
New Zealand’s best Doulton collection. He targeted quality pieces was not afraid of paying the price for those
right examples.
Doug was a passionate researcher with a goal of having good examples of most of the Doulton range. This
interest led him to be a founding member of the Christchurch Collectors Club and eventually a life member and
patron. As a great orator he gave many insightful talks to a wide range of community groups.
A number of ‘International Exhibition’ pieces produced by Doulton have found their way into this collection,
notably the ‘Mount Cook and Huka Glacier’ vase, the flambé Omar Khayyam vase, the Sung peacock in flight
vase etc. The Redmond’s were also prime lenders to the 1993 NZ Post Royal Doulton Exhibition.
This collection is now be offered for auction by the estate for definite sale, the estimates in many cases are
considerably less than the prices paid.
