Description
Our milk jug is a small, rounded piece in beige stoneware that holds 250ml, which makes it a jug for milk or cream at the table rather than one for water or juice. It stands 9cm tall and measures 8cm across, with a pouring spout at the rim and a loop handle on the opposite side. A fine crackle runs through the glaze over the whole body, and slender botanical branches climb one side, some sprigs fine and feathery, others dotted with tiny buds.
It belongs on the breakfast table or the tea tray, filled with milk for a pot of tea or a round of coffees, and it is just as useful for pouring cream over a fruit crumble or a bowl of berries after supper. Laid out for afternoon tea, it brings a quiet country feel to the table without fuss. At 0.238KG it is light enough to pass from hand to hand, and its size suits a couple or a small household who want a jug that is always out rather than tucked away in a cupboard. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who takes their tea seriously.
Stoneware is a dense ceramic fired at high temperature, which gives it a solid, sturdy body. The jug goes straight in the dishwasher after use, but it is not for the microwave or the oven, so warm milk in a pan first and pour it in once it is ready. The styling props shown are not included. For a practical table, stand it beside the teapot on a linen cloth or a wooden board, where the crackle and the branches catch the light, and pair it with plain cups in a similar beige glaze to keep the table calm.
