A family business that dates back 3 generations.

Our family have been immersed in the world of pottery for over 75 years. Creating with clay since 1945, we are a family business fired by passion, knowledge, and imagination. We craft pottery with a uniquely Australian spirit, to be loved and enjoyed.

A love of pottery has been handed down from June Dyson to Robert Gordon and his children. This is a story unlike any other pottery in Australia.

Commitment To Craft
Robert Gordon is the largest production pottery in Australia. The Pakenham workshop produces some 300,000+ pieces of high-fired stoneware each year.

Our People
Here at Robert Gordon, we employ 35 local craftspeople to make and process the pottery. Each member of the workshop team brings invaluable skills to their stations, with some long-term employees contributing 25+ years’ experience. A piece of pottery crafted in Pakenham passes through no less than twelve sets of hands.
