Description
This ceramic jug is moulded as a smiling highland cow dressed for Christmas, with a red Santa hat perched between its cream horns and a green and white striped scarf tucked under its chin. Sprigs of holly with bright red berries trim the scarf, and the cow's shaggy brown coat is raised in deep, wavy lines that run all the way around the body, so the back is as textured as the front. The handle is striped red and white like a candy cane, and a wide pouring lip sits at the front. It stands 15.5cm tall, 17cm across and 13cm deep.
We think it looks its best on the Christmas table, the kitchen dresser or a windowsill through the festive weeks, where the cow's friendly face greets everyone who passes. Fill it with pine cones, cinnamon sticks or sprigs of dried foliage for an easy seasonal display, or stand cutlery in it on the buffet table so guests can help themselves. It sits just as happily on a shelf among other Christmas decorations, and its warm brown colouring looks lovely beside wood, wicker and greenery. Wrapped in tissue, it makes a cheerful Christmas gift with plenty of character.
The jug is made from ceramic with a glossy finish, and the moulded hat, scarf and holly stand slightly proud of the body so they catch the light. Inside, it is plain white, which keeps the look clean when you peer in. To keep it looking fresh, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and dry it straight away, and give it a gentle dust while it is on display. As with any ceramic piece, handle it with care and keep it back from the edge of a shelf. When the decorations come down, wrap a little tissue around the handle and pack it away, ready to bring the highland cow back out next Christmas.

It stands 15.5cm tall, measures 17cm across and is 13cm deep. That is a handy size for a festive table, dresser or windowsill.

The back has the same shaggy brown coat texture as the front, so the jug looks good from every angle on an open shelf or table.

Wipe it gently with a soft damp cloth and dry it straight away. While it is out on display, give it a light dust with a soft dry cloth.
Does it make a good Christmas gift?
