Wood Mouse Jug by Quail Ceramics

Description

A pouring jug shaped like a wood mouse — small, big-eyed, big-eared, found anywhere there's a granary or a hedge. A good all-purpose jug for the table — milk, cream, syrup, sauce.

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

Dimensions: Approx. 8.5 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 wood mouse on the table — that small pop of personality on an otherwise ordinary surface is exactly the point.

What you're getting: One hand-painted wood mouse jug.

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.
