Thea Ceramics Lidded Pot

Thea Ceramics is a pottery studio on Waiheke Island. These pieces are designed and made by owner/operator Esther McDonald (Ngā Puhi, Ngāti Wai, Ngāti Pukenga).

All Thea pieces are thrown on the pottery wheel and made for every day use.

These lidded pots are thrown on the pottery wheel and hand glazed in 3 different glazes:

- Muka is named after the fibre that come from Harakeke (flax), Muka is a beautiful cream glaze.

- Pōuriuri is a darkest green glaze, with a satin finish.

- Karamea (translates to "caramel" in Te reo Māori) but also talks to the clay banks on Waiheke Island. This glaze is a satin terracotta glaze with lovely warm, pink and peach tones.

The brutalist clay is a hard wearing clay, that has a light feel and concrete look.

These are a lidded vessel with a shelf to hold the lid - curating a snug and flat fit.

Thrown on the pottery wheel, even the little lid toggle!

These are designed for sugar but could hold treasures or herbs.

These are around 7.5cm tall without the lid and 10cm tall with lid on, the vessel is around 10cm wide.

 All Thea ceramics are hand made so sizes and colours vary, they are dishwasher safe and are intended for everyday use

These items are limited edition, and handmade in New Zealand
