Description
This ceramic jug carries a spray of holly leaves and a cluster of bright red berries just beneath its pouring lip, a cheerful nod to Christmas in glossy green. The body swells into a full, rounded belly before narrowing to a pinched spout, and the leaves are raised in relief from the surface so their veins catch the light. The handle is moulded with a twisting ridge that runs from the rim down to the body, giving your hand a firm hold and echoing the festive detail on the front. It stands 14cm tall, 15.5cm wide and 12.2cm deep, a compact size that sits comfortably on a crowded table.
We see it at the heart of the Christmas table, on a sideboard beside the cards or on a kitchen windowsill through December. Fill it with sprigs of fresh holly, a few stems of eucalyptus or faux berries and it becomes a small seasonal arrangement in its own right, or let it stand empty as a spot of festive colour among candles and greenery. Its green and red sit as happily with traditional tartans and red linens as they do with plain white china. It makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, and one that comes out of the cupboard again every December.
The jug is made from ceramic with a high-gloss glaze over the whole body, handle and decoration, and the berries are picked out in a bright red against the green. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe it with a damp cloth when needed. Pack it away wrapped in tissue at the end of the season so the leaf edges and spout stay unchipped. For the table, stand it slightly off centre among a run of greenery and a few pillar candles, keeping flames well away from the foliage, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
