Not only is this jug in its slippers, it actually has pom poms on it too! Practical as it is pretty and ideal for cream, gravy, brandy sauce or custard!
 
The slipper jug stands on three legs, pink slippers and red pom poms and is around 15cm tall including feet and is 19cm wide including the handle! 
 
WHAT MAKES IT A SECOND...
Joining two elements of clay - in this case, the legs - always carries some risk. To strengthen the join, I added extra clay around the seams and blended them carefully. As the piece dried, a few small cosmetic splits appeared around the leg joins. These are purely surface-level and don’t affect the structure - the legs are firmly attached, and the piece is fully glazed, which adds extra strength.
 
Additionally, a shallow surface split has appeared on the outside of the jug, where the base meets the side. The inside is unaffected, meaning the jug is fully watertight and entirely functional. However, the line is visible at the base.
 
Because of these imperfections, this jug has been discounted by 60%.
 
Caring for your pottery:
Marigold and Lettice pottery is made from white earthenware clay and designed to be used and enjoyed every day. We personally use our pieces in the oven, dishwasher, and microwave. However, to prolong the life of your pottery, handwashing is the gentler choice, as dishwashers can be tough on handmade items due to high-pressure jets and strong detergents and may overtime cause damage and speed up any grazing in the glaze. 
While we do microwave our own pieces, for longevity we suggest heating food in the oven where possible. 
 
I M P O R T A N T    I N F O R M A T I O N
Our china looks and feels very (very) different to mass-produced pottery; it’s not fine or delicate, but wonderfully chunky and full of texture, you’ll see thumb prints, makers marks, glaze specks/drips and heaps of individuality. We call it perfectly imperfect pottery and firmly believe it’s all the better for it!
