Hosier Bluestone Split Pitchers are a timeless paving stone that have been used prominently throughout Melbourne CBD and surrounding suburbs since the 1850s. Traditionally installed in streetscapes, building foundations, gutter edging, laneways, and paving, these historic stone units are often regarded as Melbourne’s version of a cobblestone. Featuring soft blue-grey tones, natural cat’s paw markings, and a split-face finish that highlights the rugged character of natural basalt, each pitcher delivers a unique and authentic appearance. Ideal for driveways, pathways, courtyards, laneways, and landscape applications, Hosier Bluestone Split Pitchers provide exceptional durability, texture, and a true connection to Melbourne’s rich architectural heritage.

Bluestone is a dense and durable natural basalt stone formed from volcanic lava. Renowned for its strength, versatility, and timeless appeal, bluestone has been widely used in architectural and landscape applications for generations. Characterised by its blue-grey to charcoal colour palette, it often features subtle tonal variation, natural texture, and distinctive cat’s paw markings, small lighter-grey circular patterns created by the mineral composition within the stone. These unique markings are a sought-after characteristic that enhance the authenticity and natural beauty of bluestone.
