Description
The flattest and widest bowl in the series, this Pyxis lidded bowl is defined by its outward-turned rim and flat lid. Taking cues from low-profile ceremonial containers of ancient Etruscan Bucchero design, it is hand-thrown from a burgundy-red mid-fired stoneware clay and finished with a clay-based satin matte black glaze. Each piece stamped with a makers mark at the base.
Its generous surface and refined shape make it ideal for holding precious items, serving snacks, storing salt or sugar or as a display object.
This piece belongs to the exclusive Blackware collection made in partnership with Dryburgh Pottery — a considered range that includes amphoras, pitchers, lidded vessels, serving bowls, plates, chalices, and more. Designed for collectors and lovers of ancient-inspired ceramics.

- 【24】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.
