About:

This charming pair of vintage studio pottery jars showcases the quiet confidence of hand-thrown stoneware; equipped with rounded forms, confident throwing lines, and a rich cobalt blue glaze that pools and breaks beautifully over the clay body. Used as storage for sugar, salt or other condiments.

Sold as a potential set, but request individual pricing. 

Likely produced by an Australian studio potter in the late 20th century or later and marked 'BA' on the bottom, these pieces feel both practical and sculpturally made, and can fit into any household environment. 

The lids sit neatly, with a subtle breakage on the larger lid; though subtle, notches and hand-finished details are still present, which speak to their maker’s process. Both of these pieces are perfect as functional décor or as a collectible example of Australian studio ceramics.
