Elizabeth Lissaman bowl

Potter Elizabeth Lissaman made this bowl in 1934. Brought up on Waireka, the family sheep station near Seddon, she was determined to be a potter from an early age. Newly married in the early 1930s, Lissaman lived on the Wakamarina River near Canvastown, and this bowl is made from Wakamarina clay.
