Description
This is a stoneware jug painted by hand with a meadow of multicoloured flowers, buds and leaves that climb from the base towards a softly uneven rim, finished with a fine painted line around the edge. It stands 22.5cm tall and 13cm across and holds 1898ml, which makes it a proper serving jug rather than a small milk or cream jug: big enough for water or juice for the whole table. The body tapers from a broad base and flares a little at the lip, and a generous looped handle sits on one side for a steady pour.
Its natural place is the kitchen and the dining table: water with a weekday supper, juice at a weekend breakfast, lemonade in the garden on a warm afternoon, or milk beside a pot of tea. The flowers bring colour to a plain table setting and sit just as happily among mismatched country crockery, so it suits a cottage kitchen as well as a simpler modern one. Between meals, stand it on an open shelf or a dresser, where the hand-painted pattern can be seen from across the room, or fill it with garden stems and use it as a vase.
The jug is 100% stoneware, a dense ceramic that feels solid in the hand, and it weighs 1.16KG, so it sits steadily on the table. It goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so there is no special care to remember after a meal. The decoration is hand-painted, and you can see the movement of the brush in each petal and leaf. For styling, pair it with plain tableware and linen so the flowers lead, or group it with other ceramics on a dresser shelf for a relaxed farmhouse look.
