Description
This small stoneware jug carries a fine grey line drawing of a leafy sprig standing in a little jar, with the words "BEST buds" printed just beneath it. The body is glazed in a soft off white and is smooth to the touch, with a rounded belly that tapers gently towards the rim and a neat pouring lip. A generous loop handle sits on the side, big enough to lift it comfortably, and the back is left plain so the drawing faces the room. It stands 9cm tall, 8cm wide and 6cm deep, a little piece that fits easily on a narrow shelf.
Its size makes it a natural home for a few short stems, a sprig from the garden or a small bunch of dried flowers, and the printed words play on exactly that. We like it on a windowsill, a bedside table, a kitchen shelf or a desk, where one small jug brings a quiet touch of life without taking up much room. The words make it an easy, warm gift for a friend, a little token that tells them they are one of your best buds, and it is just as happy on your own shelf.
The jug is made from stoneware with a glazed finish, which gives it a gentle sheen and a soft colour that sits well beside white, cream, grey or natural wood. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away. Its neutral glaze also means it can move from room to room as your flowers change with the seasons. Add a few stems of your own, wrap it in tissue, and it makes a thoughtful, heartfelt present for the friend who always knows when to send a card.
