Latina Stoneware Jug 1200ml - Purple

This stoneware jug holds 1200ml and is finished in a solid coloured purple glaze, with deep vertical fluting running from its foot to its rim. It stands 25cm tall and 20cm across, wider at the base and narrowing gently towards a softly scalloped top, with a pulled spout for pouring and a generous looped handle opposite. It weighs 0.8KG, a substantial piece of stoneware, and the raised ribs catch the light so the glaze looks deeper in the grooves and paler on the ridges.

At 1200ml this is a proper table jug rather than a little milk jug: enough for water or squash at a family lunch, milk at the breakfast table or homemade lemonade on a summer afternoon in the garden. The maker approves it for food and drink, so it is made for serving at the table. Its height also makes it a good vase, holding a loose handful of garden stems or a few tall flowers on a kitchen table, a dresser shelf or a hall console. It suits a farmhouse kitchen, a dining room or a sunny conservatory, and makes a thoughtful housewarming or birthday present for anyone who likes soft colour on the table.

Stoneware is dense and hard wearing, and the solid coloured glaze gives the surface a glossy finish. The maker states it can go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so it is washed with everything else after a meal and can warm milk in the microwave. For styling, pair it with plain white plates for a gentle lift of colour, or group it with other fluted pieces in soft tones on an open shelf, where the ribbing does the work. The styling props shown are not included.

How much does the jug hold?

It holds 1200ml, which makes it a full-size table jug for water, juice or milk at a family meal rather than a small milk jug.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

Yes. The maker states it can go in the dishwasher, so you can wash it along with the rest of your crockery after a meal.

Can I use it in the microwave or the oven?

Yes. The maker states it can go in both the microwave and the oven, which is handy for warming milk or gravy before serving.

How big is the jug?

It stands 25cm tall and measures 20cm across, and it weighs 0.8KG, so it is worth checking your cupboard or fridge door height before storing it there.

What is it made of?

It is made of 100% stoneware with a solid coloured purple glaze, deep vertical fluting around the body and a gently scalloped rim.

Does it work as a vase?

Yes. Its height and broad body make it a good vase for a loose bunch of garden stems or a few tall flowers on a table or shelf.
