A beautifully organic lidded cannister by John Edye, produced at the renowned Sturt Studio in NSW. The form is soft and organically rounded with a natural, hand thrown character, finished in a rich brown glaze with warm caramel variations that pool and break across the surface.
The lid features a fitted slot that holds the accompanying hand carved timber spoon — a perfect match in both scale and aesthetic. The spoon sits snugly, making this an ideal piece for storing tea, spices, salt, honey, or condiments. The base carries both Edye’s potter’s mark and the Sturt Studio stamp, confirming its provenance.
Measuring 15.5 cm high and 14 cm wide with a 6 cm neck opening, and with the spoon at 17 cm, this is a functional yet highly collectible example of Australian studio pottery from one of Sturt’s respected makers.
