Mara Stoneware

Thrown once.
Kept for decades.

Unglazed white clay, hand built in Castlemaine, and finished by nobody but the person who made it.

Made slowly

Three weeks in
the kiln queue.

Every piece begins in the hands of an Australian maker. We commission in small batches, usually twenty pieces or fewer, and we wait as long as the work takes.

Four pieces, this season

The collection.

Field linen throw, stonewashed

Field Linen Throw

European flax, stonewashed for softness, woven in a mill that has not changed its looms since 1974.

$220
Grove serving board in solid oak

Grove Serving Board

Salvaged solid oak, hand shaped and rubbed with nothing but oil. It ages rather than dates.

$95
Ripple glass carafe

Ripple Glass Carafe

Mouth blown from recycled glass, so no two carry the same ripple through the shoulder.

No seconds.
No seasonal churn.

When a piece sells out, it returns only when its maker is ready.

Small numbers,
on purpose.

We would rather run out than make more than we can stand behind.

What people keep.

"Every piece feels like it was already loved before it reached our shelf."

Helena, Fitzroy North

"The vase we bought three years ago still stops guests mid sentence."

Daniel, Castlemaine

"I have washed the throw eighty times. It has only got better."

Ruth, Eastcombe
