Description
This blue stoneware jug holds 1200ml, a good table size for water, milk or juice at a family meal. It stands 25cm tall and measures 20cm across, with deep vertical fluting that runs from the base right up to a gently scalloped rim. The body widens slightly towards the foot, and a looped handle sits opposite a neat pouring lip. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and at 0.8KG this is a jug with some reassuring weight to it.
It earns its place on the kitchen or dining table every day: water with dinner, milk beside the teapot, orange juice at a weekend breakfast or lemonade carried out to the garden on a warm afternoon. It is made for food, so it can just as easily bring gravy or custard to the table for a Sunday lunch. It can go in the microwave, so you can warm milk or a sauce in the jug itself. It suits anyone who prefers the look of glazed ceramic to plain glass at the table, and it makes a welcome gift for a new home. Away from mealtimes, the tall fluted body works well as a vase for a loose bunch of garden flowers on a sideboard or windowsill.
The jug is 100% stoneware finished in a solid coloured glaze, and the blue runs evenly over the fluting, catching the light along each ridge. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, it goes in the microwave and it can go in the oven, so there is no need to keep it aside for best. For styling, set it at the centre of a wooden table with a few stems in it between meals, or leave it out on an open kitchen shelf where the fluted profile can be seen; it looks just as good empty as it does full.
