Waiheke-based Esther McDonald’s beautiful ceramics caught our eye. Her Thea Ceramics collection of jugs, salt dishes, plates, bowls and tumblers have the perfect balance of terracotta and coloured glaze. The tumblers have a beautiful thin lip, which makes drinking from them extremely pleasant. The mini pourers (pictured) start at $28, thea-ceramics.com.
