Description
This footed Oinochoe jug pays tribute to the clean silhouettes of ancient Etruscan Bucchero ware, balancing sculptural form with practical function.
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.
Use it as a water pitcher, wine jug, or a decorative centrepiece — equally suited to daily use or display.
Part of the exclusive Blackware collection, developed in collaboration with Dryburgh Pottery, this jug sits beautifully alongside companion pieces such as chalices, amphoras, lidded vessels, serving bowls, and plates. A modern heirloom rooted in ancient design.

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 work reflects Kirsten’s deep respect for materiality and the timeless beauty of handmade craft. Explore her collection for unique ceramics designed for everyday use and artistic display.
