FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the jug?
The jug measures approximately 18.5cm in height, 16.5cm in width, and 13cm in depth.
Is the Green Asiatic Pheasants pattern printed or hand-painted?
The pattern is applied using Burleigh's traditional tissue transfer printing technique from hand-engraved copper rollers, a process unique to their heritage.
Can I put hot liquids in this jug?
It is not recommended to pour very hot liquids directly into the jug, as rapid temperature changes can affect earthenware. It is best suited for room temperature or chilled beverages.
Is this jug safe for serving food?
The earthenware is food-safe for serving beverages. For direct food contact, it is generally used for serving, not for prolonged storage of acidic foods.
Where is this jug made?
Every piece of Burleigh pottery, including this jug, is proudly handmade at Middleport Pottery in Stoke-on-Trent, England.
Can I use this jug outdoors?
Yes, you can use the jug outdoors for serving or decoration, but it should be brought indoors and protected from harsh weather and frost.
What is the best way to store the jug?
Store the jug in a safe place where it is unlikely to be knocked over. Ensure it is clean and dry before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
Troubleshooting
Jug has a slight imperfection in the pattern.
This is a characteristic of the handmade, hand-decorated process and should be considered a unique mark of authenticity rather than a defect.
Jug has developed a faint crackle in the glaze (crazing).
Minor crazing can occur over time with earthenware, especially with sudden temperature changes. While it may not affect functionality, avoid using it for liquids if extensive. Consider it for decorative use only.
Difficulty removing stubborn stains.
Try soaking the jug in warm water with a mild detergent for a short period. Avoid harsh scrubbing. For very persistent stains, a gentle paste of baking soda and water can be applied with a soft cloth, followed by rinsing.
