Description
This is a cream stoneware jug with a fine crackle across its surface and sprigs of grasses and wild plants gathered on one side, drawn in darker tones that look almost pressed into the clay. It stands 19.5cm tall and 12cm across, with a curved handle and a clear spout, and it weighs 0.77KG. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, which is why it has long earned its place in the kitchen.
Its natural home is the table. The maker lists it as food safe, so it can carry water, milk, juice or lemonade to breakfast, a long lunch outdoors or a relaxed family supper. Between meals it makes a fine vase: a loose bunch of dried grasses or fresh garden stems suits its height and echoes the plants on its side. It also sits happily on a kitchen shelf or dresser, and it suits anyone who likes a calm, country-style kitchen with natural textures and a relaxed feel.
Care is simple. It is dishwasher safe, so it goes in with the rest of the dishes after a meal. It is not microwave safe and not oven safe, so warm anything in a pan rather than in the jug itself. The crackle is part of the finish rather than a flaw, and because the plant motifs gather on one side, it is worth turning the jug so they face the room or your guests. For styling, stand it on a wooden board in the middle of the table with a few stems in it, and let the cream stoneware sit against plain linen and wood.
