Description
This is a milk jug made to look like a lemon, in 100% stoneware with a glossy yellow surface that follows the dimpled texture of real peel. A pair of raised leaves sits where the handle meets the body, and the handle itself is shaped like a short, knobbly twig. It holds 330ml and measures 10cm across and 7.5cm tall, so it is a small, rounded jug with a neat pouring lip rather than a large table jug. At 0.29KG it is light to lift and easy to pour.
Its home is the kitchen and the breakfast table. 330ml is a useful size for milk beside the teapot or the cafetière, for cream poured over a pudding, or for a little syrup or dressing passed round at lunch. It suits anyone who likes a bit of colour and humour at the table, and it makes an easy gift for a friend with a yellow kitchen or a soft spot for fruit-shaped tableware. Between meals it looks just as good left out on an open shelf or a painted dresser, ready for the next pot of tea.
Part of each jug is decorated by hand. Stoneware is fired hard and dense, and it holds heat well, which makes it a good material for everyday tableware. Care is straightforward: it goes in the dishwasher, and it can go in the microwave and the oven too, so you can warm milk for a latte in the jug itself rather than in a pan. For a styling note, we like it with plain white cups so the yellow does the talking, or set beside a bowl of real lemons on the kitchen counter.
