Description
This is a stoneware jar made in the shape of a fish, with a lid and a matching spoon, and it holds 1700ml. Raised scales cover its body, a round eye and pouting lips sit at one end, and a ridged tail sweeps up at the other. The lid forms the fish's back, topped with a raised fin, and a notch in its edge lets the spoon stay in the jar with the lid on. The spoon's handle is patterned with scales to match. It measures 35.5cm long, 15cm wide and 15.5cm tall and weighs 1.58KG.
At 1700ml it is a serving dish size rather than a small pot, so it earns its place on the dining table: bring a stew, a curry or a salad to the centre and let everyone help themselves with the spoon. It is food safe and microwave safe, so a portion can be warmed through in it. Between meals it works in the kitchen as a lidded jar for dry goods such as rice, oats or pasta, and its length suits a deep shelf. It is a cheerful fit for a seaside home, a coastal kitchen or anyone who likes a little humour at the table.
It is made from 100% stoneware, a dense clay fired hard, which helps it hold the warmth of a hot dish. The finish is a reactive glaze; glazes of this kind move as they fire, so the blue pools a little deeper or lighter over the scales from one piece to the next. It goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, but it is not for the oven, so cook in another dish and bring the food to the table in this one. To style it, set it in the middle of a plain linen runner, or give it an open shelf beside simple tableware, where the blue has room to stand out.

Frequently Asked
Can I serve hot food in it?
Yes. It is food safe and microwave safe, so you can serve a hot dish in it or warm a portion through in the microwave. It is not oven safe, so do not cook in it in the oven.
Does it go in the dishwasher?
Yes. It is dishwasher safe, so the jar, lid and spoon can all go in the dishwasher after a meal.
How big is it?
It is 35.5cm long, 15cm wide and 15.5cm tall, holds 1700ml and weighs 1.58KG, so allow a good length of shelf or table for it.
What is included?
You receive the fish-shaped jar, its lid and the matching spoon. The styling props shown, such as the plates, cups and vase, are not included.
What is it made of?
It is made from 100% stoneware with a reactive glaze, so the blue varies a little in depth across the raised scales and from one piece to the next.
Can the spoon stay in the jar with the lid on?
Yes. The lid has a notch in its edge, so the spoon's handle can rest in it while the lid stays on the jar.
