Description
The stoneware Chalise is inspired by ancient Etruscan Bucchero ware — a ceramic tradition known for its refined, burnished forms.
A smooth, slightly burgundy-red mid-fired stoneware clay, finished with a clay based satin matte black glaze inspired by early burnished ware. Each piece is hand-thrown on the pottery wheel and stamped with a maker’s mark at the base.
A sculptural alternative to the traditional wine glass, this vessel is perfect for sipping wine, serving cocktails, or presenting small dishes. Designed to be held, used, and admired.
Part of the exclusive Blackware collection, developed in collaboration with Dryburgh Pottery, this piece is complemented by a range of refined items — including amphoras, pitchers, lidded vessels, serving bowls, plates, and more. A must-have for collectors and those inspired by ancient forms reimagined for contemporary life.

- 【23】Dryburgh Pottery
Contemporary Ceramics Inspired by Nature and Architecture.
Kirsten Dryburgh is a seasoned ceramicist based in Aotearoa with over 25 years of experience spanning pottery, floristry, and sculpture. A graduate of Elam School of Fine Arts, she draws inspiration from classical design and urban architecture, reinterpreting traditional forms into contemporary, story-rich ceramics.
Working from her Grey Lynn studio, Kirsten uses locally sourced and imported stoneware clays, with glazes influenced by Auckland’s volcanic geology—incorporating natural elements like rocks, sand, and mineral-rich waters. Her pieces blend functional and sculptural forms, crafted through wheel throwing, press moulding, slab construction, and hand-building techniques.
Each piece reflects Kirsten’s deep respect for materiality, the mark of its making — the weight of stoneware, and depth of glaze, the confidence of a craft refined over decades.
