This beautiful jug is handmade locally using red earthenware clay. Each piece is totally unique and individual, producing an exclusive and fuctional piece of pottery. As each piece is handmade, every jug may vary slightly from those shown in the picture. If you should choose to, these jugs can be used in the microwave, oven and dishwasher. This lovely little jug is a wonderful gift idea, and if not being used for milk will look gorgeous filled with a little posey of flowers.
