Mini Story or Hook:

Emerging during the golden age of Australian studio pottery, Lilydale Pottery captured the essence of the 1970s handmade movement — earthy, functional, and proudly local. Each piece was hand-thrown and individually glazed, often reflecting the tones of the Yarra Valley landscape. This vase, with its soft banding of ochres and creams, is both practical and beautifully understated — a timeless piece of Australian ceramic heritage.
