Mary-Lou Pittard has been a practising ceramic artist since the early 1980s, known for her vibrant decorative stoneware that bridges both functional design and exhibition work. Her pieces have been exhibited across Australia and internationally, including an invitation to exhibit in Paris in 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, Pittard pieces are increasingly sought after, with many items on their official website (pittards.com.au) often sold out. A comparable contemporary mixing bowl of similar size retails around $150, highlighting the quality and desirability of her work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a lively lemon motif framed by a rich cobalt blue rim, this bowl captures a relaxed Mediterranean feel with a distinctly Australian studio pottery touch. Each piece is individually hand-painted, meaning no two are exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition: Very Good – see detailed notes below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a vintage studio pottery piece in collectible condition:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\t•\tPresents beautifully with strong, vibrant glazing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\t•\tNo major chips or cracks observed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\t•\tMinor surface wear consistent with light use\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\t•\tBase shows expected age-related wear\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\t•\tHand-painted signature visible to underside\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fantastic display piece or functional bowl with genuine artisan character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e📸 The photos form part of the description – please examine them closely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePostage \u0026amp; Handling:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e📦 All items are carefully wrapped and packaged to ensure they arrive safely at their new forever home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombined postage available – contact us before purchasing for a revised invoice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eInternational shipping available on request – please message for a quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eLocal pickup available from Vintage HQ in Heidelberg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeed to Know More?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHave questions or need more photos?
