The lower body is finished in a wonderfully tactile creamy oatmeal glaze, contrasting with the rich honey, caramel and deep brown tones around the neck, rim and interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glaze has a beautifully organic quality, with subtle variations and speckling throughout that give the piece plenty of depth and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurned around, it bears the impressed Occold Pottery maker's mark below the handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough originally conceived as a functional jug, we think this is particularly good as a decorative piece. Fill it with seasonal flowers, dried hydrangeas or garden foliage, or simply display it empty on an old pine dresser, kitchen table or open shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the combination of shape, scale and glaze that makes this one work so well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe creamy stoneware body keeps it wonderfully neutral, while the deep brown glaze around the top gives it warmth and stops it feeling too plain.
