Description

This hand-thrown jug is finished in our signature “Black Nguni” glaze, a complex, speckled interplay of charcoal and soft grey that evokes the iconic patterning of South African Nguni cattle hides.

The jug’s elegant form features a delicate, hand-applied lotus motif at its canter. This small, stamped medallion offers a moment of quiet detail, contrasting with the bold, organic movement of the glaze. With its visible throwing rings and balanced weight, this piece is a tactile reminder of the rhythm of the potter’s wheel in our Bathurst studio.

Product Features:

  • Handmade in Bathurst: Individually wheel-thrown, reflecting over 25 years of artisanal mastery.
  • Signature Nguni Glaze: A textured, high-fired finish that creates a unique, light-catching surface on every piece.
  • Detail: Features a hand-stamped lotus motif, serving as a signature focal point.
  • Stoneware: Designed for both beauty and durability, making it suitable for serving at the table or as a standalone art piece.

Please note: Because each item is handmade, there will be slight variations in size, volume, and the exact flow of the glaze, ensuring your piece is entirely individual.
