Wheel-thrown stoneware by Blue Mountains potter, Oliver Carney.

A tall, wheel-thrown ceramic jug featuring a bold, abstract glaze pattern. Deep cobalt blues, rich iron blacks, and textured off-white slips layer over a visible stoneware base, creating a dynamic, tactile surface. Finished with a sturdy, hand-pulled handle and a subtle pouring lip, it balances functional design with expressive, organic artistry.

Size: W (at base) 13 cm x H 28.5 cm
