Native birds have come to symbolise
We are thrilled to celebrate our rare native birds in a special collaboration with Bob Steiner. We hope to highlight the stories and precious nature of three endangered native birds; the Chatham Island Tui, Reef Kotuku and Blue Whio. Each bird is represented in a hand picked glaze which is applied to a one of a kind and entirely exclusive ceramic bird jug by Bob Steiner. Each bird just is hand made by Bob and his team in Avondale, right down to each little eye being crafted and applied by hand.
Reef Kotuku
A rare solitary bird located in the shallow waters along the margins of rivers, inland lakes, swamps and coastal estuaries. Incredibly elegant, they lift themselves off into flight, the wings flapping slowly and purposefully. Climatically
Endangered bird jug sizes:
Tiny- 7 cm tall by 6 cm wide
Small- 10 cm tall by 8 cm wide
Large- 25 cm tall by 12 cm wide
All jugs are hand made from clay and fired in a kiln. All pieces are glazed and therefore food safe. Each jug is based on Bob Steiner’s popular squeeze design where finger indents are pressed into the sides of the jug making it the most ergonomically designed pourer. Please treat your bird jug with love and care and it will last a lifetime. Please hand wash. Tiny and small jugs are ideal as bud vases or milk and gravy pourers. The large jug is an exceptional vase for flowers of leaf cuttings. It is also ideal as a jug for pouring juice, water and other drinks.
