Robert Gordon — Three Generations of Australian Pottery. One Standard of Craft.

Robert Gordon

The story of Robert Gordon begins in 1945, when June Dyson — a celebrated Australian studio potter — opened her workshop in Black Rock, Victoria, establishing a legacy of handmade ceramics that would endure across three generations of the same family. Her son, Robert 'Andy' Gordon, opened his own studio, Pack Track Pottery, in 1978 in a tin shed in the Dandenong Ranges, taking his pieces to Sunday markets in Melbourne before the business grew into Australia's largest production pottery, headquartered in Pakenham, Victoria. Today, under the creative direction of the third generation — siblings Hannah and Bobby Gordon — the brand produces over 300,000 pieces of high-fired stoneware annually from its Australian facility, complemented by collections designed at the Pakenham studio and produced offshore to the same specifications. The result is tableware marked by an honest materiality, naturalist aesthetic, and the functional intelligence of potters who have spent decades working directly with chefs — among them Shannon Bennett of Vue de Monde, one of Australia's most celebrated fine dining institutions. At Pastry Chef's Boutique, Robert Gordon ceramics are available to American chefs and hospitality buyers who understand that the plate is never incidental.
