Description
This cheerful stoneware sugar bowl and milk jug set brings Santa to the tea table, with his round, smiling face forming the body of each piece. The sugar bowl wears his red hat as its lid, trimmed with a red and white striped band, a sprig of green holly and a white pompom that makes an easy knob to lift. The milk jug matches it, with the same striped band running beneath a red rim, a holly leaf beside the pouring lip and a red handle that ends in a white cuff. Both share a curly white beard and moustache, rosy cheeks and a soft pink nose on the front, while the backs are a rich glazed red beneath a band of white curls.
Set out for Christmas morning, the pair keeps sugar and milk close at hand for tea and coffee, and the two jolly faces make a cheerful sight on a breakfast tray or beside the cake at a festive afternoon tea. The lid keeps the sugar covered between cups, and the shaped lip helps the milk pour where you want it. They sit happily alongside plain white tableware or add a dash of red to a table already dressed for the season.
Both pieces are made from stoneware with a smooth glazed finish, and the raised beard, curls and holly give them a lovely feel in the hand. As good practice for glazed stoneware, we suggest washing them by hand in warm soapy water and drying them with a soft cloth, taking a little care around the raised detail. Keep the lid on the bowl when you pack them away so the set stays together until next December. For a gift, wrap the pair with a bag of good coffee or a favourite tea and it is ready for the table on Christmas morning.
