Eimy Floral Stoneware Jug - Cream

Our Eimy jug is a tall, round stoneware jug in cream, hand-painted with a single floral branch across its front. A fine painted line runs around the rim and into the pouring lip, and the surface carries a light speckle that gives it the look of a country pot. It stands 20.5cm tall and 11cm across, with a generous looped handle that finishes in a small curl, and it weighs 0.658KG. Stoneware is fired at a high temperature, which makes it dense and hard-wearing, a sound material for a jug that will be lifted and poured every day.

Its tall, slim shape makes it a jug for the everyday table: milk beside the teapot, water with dinner, juice at a weekend breakfast. It is food safe, so it is made for exactly that. It sits as happily on an open shelf or in a glass-fronted cabinet as it does on the dining table, and between meals it makes a simple vase for a handful of garden stems or a bunch of tulips. It suits a country kitchen, a farmhouse dresser or anyone who likes their tableware to look gathered over time rather than bought as a matching run.

This jug goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so warming milk for hot chocolate or bringing hot custard to the table is no trouble, and clearing up afterwards is simple. The decoration is painted by hand, so the brushwork on yours will have its own small differences in line and depth. For styling, keep the plates and bowls around it plain so the floral branch has room to stand out, or group it on a shelf with a couple of smaller jugs and bowls you already own, setting them at different heights so each one can be seen.
