Mini Story
A classic slice of 1970s Australian kitchen charm.
Made in Shepparton, Victoria, Boxwood Pottery produced sturdy, beautifully glazed domestic stoneware designed for everyday use. The earthy olive glaze and raised plaque labels instantly evoke farmhouse kitchens and nostalgic country kitchens of the era.
Complete 8-piece sets like this are becoming harder to source — especially in matching glaze and design.
A beautiful display set with strong decorative presence.

Condition:
Condition: Good Vintage Condition – see detailed notes below.
This is a genuine vintage Australian stoneware set:
• Glaze remains glossy and vibrant overall
• No cracks observed to the bodies of the canisters
• Plaque labels are firmly attached
• Minor age-related surface wear consistent with normal domestic use
Important:
• The Coffee lid has a visible chip and associated crack (please refer closely to photos).
• The lid still sits on the canister, but the damage has been factored into the price.
All other lids appear intact.
Overall, still a very presentable and displayable set with one condition issue clearly disclosed.
