Begonia Striped Stoneware Jug 1300ml - Brown

Our Begonia jug is made from stoneware and painted by hand with broad brown stripes that run from the rim down to the base. It holds 1300ml, a generous size for a jug that lives on the table rather than in the cupboard, and it stands 23.5cm tall, 11cm across and 17cm long. The body is tall and close to a straight cylinder, with a pouring lip at the rim and a wide loop handle with room for your fingers. Each stripe wavers a little along its length, the way a brushed line does, so it looks made by hand rather than printed.

Because it is food safe, it is made for pouring: water with a meal, juice at breakfast, milk for tea or lemonade on a warm afternoon. Its 1300ml capacity suits sharing a drink round the table, while at 11cm across it sits easily between plates on a busy dinner table or at the back of a kitchen worktop. It belongs in a relaxed kitchen or dining room, and the brown stripes sit happily alongside wood, woven baskets and plain linen. It also makes a welcome gift for someone setting up a first home.

The stripes are painted by hand in a runny glaze, so their edges soften slightly where the glaze has moved during firing. Stoneware is fired at high temperatures, which makes it dense and hard-wearing for everyday use. Care is simple: the jug is dishwasher safe, and it is microwave and oven safe too, so you can warm milk in it without reaching for a pan. It weighs 0.856KG. Between meals, let it stand on an open shelf or a dresser, where the stripes earn their place even when the jug is empty, and pair it with plain crockery so the pattern stays the focus.
