About:

This beautifully cohesive wine set is a genuine example of mid-century Australian studio pottery from Bendigo Pottery — one of Australia’s most respected and enduring ceramic makers. 

Finished in a rich iron-toned stoneware glaze, the pieces display deep chocolate and near-black pooling at the rims, breaking to warm earthy browns through the bodies and stems. 

This amazing set has been for everyday use, yet feels sculptural in form. It reflects the honest, functional aesthetic that defined Australian domestic pottery in the post-war period. 

Whether styled on a dining table, study, bar cart, or display shelf, it’s a striking celebration of Australian craftsmanship.
