Description
This cheerful ceramic sugar bowl and jug brings Santa himself to the Christmas table, with each piece shaped as his round, smiling face. The sugar bowl wears his red hat as its lid, finished with a white bobble and a white brim painted with a green leaf garland, and the hat lifts away to open the bowl. The jug has a red rim and spout, a curved red handle and the same green leaf band across Santa's brow. Both share a raised, textured white beard, a soft peach face with rosy cheeks, little dark eyes and a tiny red smile, so they look like a matched pair. The jug measures 10.5cm high, 13cm wide and 9cm deep, a neat size for a tea tray.
We think this pair is at its best on the Christmas breakfast table or tea tray, with sugar in the bowl and milk or cream in the jug for morning coffee, mince pies and afternoon tea through the festive season. Between uses it sits happily on a dresser or kitchen shelf, where the red, white and green colouring suits a traditional Christmas look. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, and it is the kind of piece that comes out of the cupboard every December.
Both pieces are ceramic with a glossy glaze, and the raised beard detail gives them a pleasing feel in the hand. The hat lid rests on top of the bowl rather than locking in place, so keep a hand on it when you pass the bowl round the table. As good practice for decorated ceramic, we would wash both gently by hand in warm soapy water and dry them well. Set them side by side with a sprig of holly and a few mince pies, or wrap them together as a cheerful gift for someone who loves Christmas.
