Jugs

A jug is one of those objects that sits on the table every day and either adds something or doesn't. This collection brings together milk jugs, carafes, stoneware jugs, and glass jugs chosen for their material quality and the way they look in use — not just in product shots. HKLIVING's 70s ceramic milk jugs and sugar pots lead the range with their characteristic reactive glazes and colour-led character, while House Doctor contributes clean glass carafes and the pleated grey-brown stoneware jugs that work equally well for water, wine, or flowers. Bloomingville's Paula milk jugs in grey and rose reactive glaze are a quieter, more understated option for those who prefer their table accessories to stay in the background.

For something more characterful, the handmade coloured glass jugs in brown, multicolour, and spotted finishes bring an artisan quality to everyday pouring, and the Seletti Kintsugi Carafe with 24K gold detailing sits at the collectible end of the range. &k's red Chiquito milk jug adds a flash of colour for anyone who likes their breakfast table to feel a little more alive. Prices start from under £15, making this one of the easiest places to find an affordable gift that will actually get used.
