Description
This tall stoneware jug holds 2165ml and carries a bold yellow leaf motif, painted by hand so that broad leaves fan up the body from the base to just below the rim. It stands 20.5cm tall and 12.5cm across, with a straight-sided body, a shaped pouring lip and a wide loop handle that takes all four fingers. At 2165ml it is a proper table jug rather than a small milk jug, large enough to bring water or juice to a table of family or friends.
Set it in the middle of the kitchen table at breakfast with fresh juice or milk, or fill it with iced water and lemon for a long lunch in the garden. It suits a family kitchen, a dining room laid for friends or a dresser shelf where it can sit on display between meals. Away from the table it works well as a vase: the tall body takes a generous bunch of stems, and the yellow leaves suit autumn dahlias as well as summer flowers. It would make a cheerful housewarming present for anyone who likes colour on the table.
The jug is made entirely of stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing clay that holds heat well, and the leaf decoration is painted by hand over a solid glaze, so the brush marks show in the yellow. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can warm milk in it for hot chocolate and wash it up with everything else. It weighs 1.3KG. For a relaxed table, pair it with simple, unpatterned cups and a wooden board so the leaf motif stays the focus.
