Know before you buy
Yes, it is suitable for serving beverages. However, because it is a vintage piece, we recommend hand-washing it gently and avoiding harsh chemicals or extreme temperature changes.
While the jug is beautiful for display, it is not waterproof. If you plan to use it for fresh flowers, we recommend placing a small glass or plastic liner inside to hold the water and prevent any potential leakage.
This jug is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the glazed finish and the integrity of the stoneware, clean it by hand using mild soap and warm water, then dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth.
As an authentic vintage item, it shows the character expected of its history. While it remains a sturdy and decorative piece, please expect minor signs of age that contribute to its unique, rustic charm.
The floral pattern is integrated into the glazed finish of the stoneware. This creates a smooth, durable surface that protects the design while maintaining the jug's traditional rustic aesthetic.
