About:

This charming lidded jar is a classic example of Australian studio and production pottery, stamped by Bendigo Pottery — one of Australia’s oldest continuously operating potteries. 

The earthy brown body paired with a deep olive-green glaze reflects the practical, honest aesthetic Bendigo is known for, drawing on traditional European stoneware forms adapted for Australian homes.

The raised beaded band adds subtle texture and visual interest, while the fitted lid with spoon notch suggests use as a sugar bowl, condiment jar, or small kitchen crock. Evoking the idea of farmhouse kitchens, pantry storage, and everyday domestic use.

This piece is a timeless, functional piece with unmistakable local heritage.
