This film promotes a newly established New Zealand industry - the mass production of domestic ware. It shows the process of manufacturing a cornucopia of Crown Lynn-like crockery - plates, cups, saucers, teapots, vases, etc. Machines make and glaze plates, while technicians cast irregular shaped vases, make prototypes for items such as Toby jugs, hand paint, and apply transfers. For as the title suggests, the potter's wheel and handwork still have their place even in the factory context.
