FAQs
Is this jug safe for serving food and drinks?
Yes, the earthenware is food-safe, and the glaze provides a protective layer. However, it is not recommended for microwave use or prolonged contact with acidic foods that could potentially etch the glaze over time. Handwashing is essential.
Can I put hot beverages in this jug?
While earthenware can handle warm liquids, it is not designed for extreme temperature changes. It is best to avoid pouring boiling liquids directly into the jug. Let hot beverages cool slightly before pouring.
What are the exact dimensions of the jug?
The jug measures Height 15cm x Width 14cm x Depth 10cm.
How is the decoration applied?
The decoration is applied using Burleigh's traditional method of tissue transfer printing from hand-engraved copper rollers, a technique that has been used for centuries.
Is the jug dishwasher safe?
No, the jug is not dishwasher safe. It must be handwashed to preserve the delicate hand-decorated design and material integrity.
Can this jug be used as a vase?
Absolutely. Its elegant design makes it a beautiful and functional vase for displaying fresh flowers.
Where is this jug made?
Each piece of Burleigh pottery, including this jug, is proudly handmade at Middleport Pottery in Stoke-on-Trent, England.
Troubleshooting
Jug has a small chip.
Minor chips on earthenware can sometimes be touched up with ceramic repair kits, but for aesthetic items, it's often best to use it decoratively in a less visible area or accept it as part of its handmade character.
Discoloration or staining on the interior.
For mild stains, try making a paste of baking soda and water, applying it to the stain, letting it sit for 15-30 minutes, then gently scrubbing with a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh bleaching agents.
Surface appears dull after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild, non-abrasive dish soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid automatic dishwashers and harsh detergents.
