Description
This textured strawberry stoneware jug is shaped like a ripe berry. Its rounded red body is covered in little raised seed shapes picked out with tiny dots of yellow. A ring of green leaves wraps the base, just as the leafy calyx sits on a fresh strawberry, and the curved red handle sweeps back from the shoulder for a comfortable hold. Inside, the glaze is a soft cream, a fresh contrast to the bright red outside. The jug stands 19.1cm tall, 14.8cm wide and 18cm deep, a handy size that sits easily on a table or a kitchen shelf without taking over.
We see it working hardest on the table, where its shaped spout and sturdy handle make it a natural for pouring at breakfast, afternoon tea or a long lunch in the garden. Between meals it is just as happy holding a bunch of fresh flowers or a few garden cuttings on a windowsill, a dresser or a kitchen island. Its cheerful fruit design suits a country kitchen, a farmhouse dining room or any home that likes a little colour, and it looks right at home beside plain white crockery.
It is made from stoneware and finished in a glossy glaze, so the red has a lovely depth and the raised seeds catch the light. The flat base with its leafy edge keeps the jug steady when it is set down. For care, we would wash it by hand in warm soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth, which is simply good practice for glazed stoneware. Fill it with chilled water and a sprig of mint for the table, or with sweet peas for the windowsill, and it brings a cheerful note of summer to the room every time.
