Know before you buy
While the jug is crafted from high-quality ceramic, it is primarily designed as a decorative object. We recommend using a liner if you plan to fill it with water for fresh-cut flowers to prevent any potential seepage through the porous material.
The unique sandy finish is best maintained by gently dusting it with a soft, dry cloth or a microfiber brush. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the textured surface.
The Amphora Black Jug is intended for decorative use rather than food service. Due to its artisanal construction and specific finish, it is best suited as a sculptural accent or for displaying dried botanicals.
Yes. Because each piece is handmade by artisans in Portugal, you may notice slight variations in the texture and charcoal finish. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the craftsmanship and ensure that every jug is one-of-a-kind.
Given its 12-inch height and sculptural silhouette, this jug is ideal for statement branches, tall dried grasses, or large, airy floral stems. The pinched spout helps keep taller arrangements clustered and upright.
