Tatum Ribbed Stoneware Milk Jug 380ml - Multi

This is a small ribbed milk jug in stoneware, made to sit beside the teapot rather than to pour water for the table. It holds 380ml and measures 9cm across and 9cm tall, giving it a compact, rounded body with a pinched spout at the rim and a curved loop handle on the side. Fine horizontal ribs run all the way round from the rim to the foot, and the multicoloured glaze shades in soft bands from top to bottom, so every rib picks up the change in tone as you turn it in your hand.

At 380ml it is a proper milk jug size, right for setting out milk or cream at breakfast, for afternoon tea with friends, or beside the coffee pot when everyone takes their own. It suits the kitchen table, a dining room dresser or a breakfast tray carried up on a Sunday morning, and at 0.31KG it is light enough to pass from hand to hand. Away from tea and coffee, it is a good size for cream with a pudding, warm custard or syrup for pancakes, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who still likes to lay the table properly.

It is made of 100% stoneware with a spray glaze, and the inside is glazed smooth as well as the outside. Stoneware is dense and holds heat well, which helps when you warm the milk before it goes to the table. The maker says it goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can heat milk for a latte in it and then wash it up with the rest of the breakfast things. For styling, let it stand on a plain wooden board where the ribbing and the bands of glaze can do the work, or pair it with plain cups so the jug is the one piece of colour on the table.
