Swaledale Sheep Jug - Small by Quail Ceramics

Description

A pouring jug shaped like a Swaledale sheep — the horned, curly-fleeced sheep of the Yorkshire dales. Sized for cream at the breakfast table or maple syrup at the pancake plate.

Handle on the back, mouth at the front; the whole thing tips clean and pours straight.

Dimensions: Approx. 11.5 cm tall

Why it's here: Quail Ceramics has been part of our co-owner Tom's life from the very beginning — they're designed in Stoke-on-Trent, the English pottery town where he grew up. Every piece is hand-painted, and none of them are made just to look at: they're all built around a job — a salt shaker, a jug, a pencil pot, a vase, an egg cup. Quail is our favorite easy way to bring a little rural whimsy into a room. A Swaledale sheep pouring cream at breakfast — that small pop of personality on an otherwise ordinary surface is exactly the point.

What you're getting: One hand-painted Swaledale sheep jug, small.

Care: Hand-painted stoneware. Dishwasher safe; we'd still recommend the top rack and a gentle cycle for the long-term life of the painted detail. Not suitable for microwave or oven use.
