Description
This cabbage sugar bowl brings a little of the vegetable patch to the tea tray, with its body and lid formed as a head of cabbage in glazed green stoneware. Broad leaves wrap the round bowl, each one raised in relief with fine veins running from base to rim, and the rim itself follows the wavy edges of the leaves. The lid is shaped as the heart of the cabbage, its top gathered into a small knob of curled leaves. The glaze is a soft, light leaf green with a gentle shine. It stands 12.8cm tall and 10.7cm across, a neat size that sits comfortably beside a teapot without crowding the table.
Sugar is its everyday job, and the lid keeps the contents covered between cups of tea and coffee. It sits just as happily on a breakfast table, a dresser shelf or a kitchen windowsill, where the green brings a fresh, country kitchen feel to the room. We also like it as a small lidded pot for sweeteners or wrapped treats, or simply as a decorative piece among other green and white ceramics. If you love the look of an old-fashioned kitchen garden, there is plenty to enjoy in the detail of those leaves.
The bowl is made from stoneware, a type of ceramic, and finished in a smooth, glossy glaze. The lid lifts straight off by its knob, so set it down gently when you spoon out the sugar. For everyday care, wipe it with a damp cloth or wash it by hand in warm soapy water, then dry it well, paying attention to the grooves between the leaves. A knock against a hard surface can chip the rim. Set it beside plain white china or a jug of garden flowers and let the cabbage take centre stage, or wrap it up with a bag of good loose-leaf tea as a cheerful present.
