Description
This stoneware jug takes its look from a fresh lime, with a deep green glaze dotted all over like real citrus peel and a pair of raised leaves sitting just under the rim. Its rounded, pear-like body rises to a wide mouth and a neat pouring lip, and a warm brown handle curves out from the side like a little branch. It holds approximately 650ml, stands about 13.4cm tall, measures 16.5cm long and 11.7cm wide, and weighs 545g, a reassuring weight that still sits comfortably in one hand.
At around 650ml, it is a practical size for the table rather than a large pitcher: enough milk for a pot of tea and a round of cereal, cold water for two or three glasses, or cream alongside a pudding. We like it in the kitchen and on the breakfast table, and it earns its place in a dining room just as easily. When it is not pouring, it makes a charming small vase for a handful of garden stems or herbs on a windowsill. Anyone who loves fruit-themed tableware, bright colour or a cheerful summer table will find plenty to like.
Stoneware is a dense, sturdy ceramic, and the glossy glaze catches the light across the dimpled surface so the peel effect shows from every side. The leaves are moulded in relief, adding texture you can feel as well as see. We suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it well, which is good practice for any glazed stoneware and keeps the colour looking fresh. Set it beside plain white crockery for a crisp contrast, group it with other green pieces on an open shelf, or fill it with lemonade and slices of fruit for a lunch outdoors in the sun.
