FAQs
Is the Hestia Mallard Cream Jug dishwasher safe?
No, it is recommended to hand-wash the jug to maintain the integrity of the hand-painted details and the glossy finish.
Can I put this jug in the microwave?
It is not recommended to use this jug in the microwave, as extreme heat may damage the ceramic finish.
What is the primary material used?
The jug is made from high-quality ceramic, finished with a glossy protective glaze.
Is it suitable for holding hot liquids like gravy?
Yes, it is designed to hold sauces and warm liquids, though it should not be used to heat the liquid directly on a stove.
Does the duck design make it difficult to pour?
The design is balanced for pouring, though users should ensure they are holding the handle firmly to maintain control.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn residue inside the beak or neck of the jug
Use a soft-bristled bottle brush to gently reach into the narrower areas of the duck shape.
Dullness of the glossy finish
Gently buff the exterior with a soft microfiber cloth after washing to restore the shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required; the jug is ready to use straight out of the box. Before the first use, it is recommended to wash the interior thoroughly with mild soap and warm water.
To ensure the longevity of the hand-painted details, avoid using harsh abrasive sponges or scouring pads, as these can wear down the textured feather detailing. The jug is strictly for hand-washing; avoid placing it in a dishwasher, as high heat and mechanical vibrations can cause the paint to chip or the glaze to crack over time. Always ensure it is completely dry before storing it in a cupboard to prevent moisture buildup within the textured crevices.
