This beautiful 3-piece milk & sugar set in Polish Pottery by Ceramika Artystyczna combines three practical pieces in one harmonious serving ensemble: a milk jug, a sugar bowl and a matching ceramic tray.

The tray measures approx. 24 × 13 cm and provides a shared base for the milk jug and sugar bowl. This keeps the coffee table neat and beautifully arranged. At the same time, both vessels can be brought to the table together, passed between guests and conveniently cleared away after the meal.

The milk jug has a maximum capacity of approx. 180 ml when filled to overflowing. For practical everyday use, around 150 ml is recommended, leaving enough room below the rim for comfortable pouring.

The sugar bowl has a capacity of approx. 200 ml when measured with water and holds approximately 150 g of sugar. The actual amount may vary slightly depending on the type and grain size of the sugar.

The total weight of all three pieces is just under 1 kg.

This makes the set much more than a classic accessory for coffee and tea. It can be used in many different ways at home as well as in cafés, restaurants, hotels, guest houses, catering, meetings and special events.

Serve Milk and Sugar Together in Style

For many people, milk and sugar are an essential part of a good cup of coffee or tea. With this set, both are not simply placed on the table but become part of the table decoration.

Instead of putting a milk carton and a bag of sugar on the table, milk and sugar are presented in matching Polish Pottery vessels on a coordinating ceramic tray.

The set is ideal with:

Filter coffee

Café crème

Americano

Espresso

Cappuccino

Latte macchiato

Café au lait

Black tea

Green tea

Fruit tea

Chai

Matcha

Cocoa

Hot chocolate

Whether used for a quick breakfast in the morning or an elegant afternoon coffee table with guests, milk and sugar are always within easy reach and beautifully presented.

The Milk Jug with approx. 150 ml Usable Capacity

The milk jug holds approx. 180 ml when filled to overflowing. For practical serving, a usable capacity of around 150 ml is recommended.

This size is particularly convenient because the jug does not need to be filled right up to the rim, making milk or cream easier to pour.

It can be used for serving:

Whole milk

Low-fat milk

Coffee cream

Oat drink

Almond drink

Soy drink

Coconut drink

Separately prepared milk foam

Beyond the traditional coffee table, the small jug can also be used for suitable sauces, dressings and dessert sauces.

If milk is to be heated or frothed directly in the ceramic jug using hot steam, first check whether Ceramika Artystyczna expressly approves this use for the specific shape. Without appropriate manufacturer approval, do not place the jug directly on a hob or other direct heat source.

The Sugar Bowl for approx. 150 g of Sugar

The sugar bowl has a volume of approx. 200 ml when measured with water. For sugar, it provides a practical capacity of approximately 150 g, depending on the type and grain size.

This provides plenty of sugar for a coffee table with several guests without having to place a large storage container on the table.

The bowl can be filled with:

White sugar

Brown sugar

Cane sugar

Fine sugar

Rock sugar, depending on the size of the pieces

Vanilla sugar

Cinnamon sugar

Coffee sugar

However, the bowl does not always have to be used for sugar.

It can also hold small treats such as:

Chocolates

Chocolate pieces

Small sweets

Almonds

Nuts

Raisins

Dried cranberries

Small biscuits

This allows the set to be adapted again and again to different occasions.

Use the 24 × 13 cm Tray Separately

The ceramic tray is much more than a base for the milk jug and sugar bowl.

When the two vessels are not needed, the approx. 24 × 13 cm tray can be used on its own.

For coffee, for example, arrange a few chocolates, small biscuits or pieces of chocolate on it.

An espresso with a small glass of water and a chocolate can also be presented beautifully on the tray.

Other ideas include:

Petit fours

Macarons

Confectionery

Small pastries

Fresh fruit pieces

Nuts

Dried fruit

Small cheese bites

Small appetisers

Away from the dining table, the tray can also be used as a decorative holder for jewellery, keys and other small items.

How to Set a Beautiful Coffee Table for 4 Guests

This milk & sugar set makes it easy to create a welcoming coffee table for four people.

Begin with a tablecloth or table runner. A beautiful wooden table can also be left uncovered so that the Polish Pottery becomes an even stronger visual feature.

Place a dessert or cake plate for each guest.

Position a cup and saucer with each place setting. Provide a small coffee spoon for each cup and a cake fork for cake, pastries or desserts.

Place the coffee pot or teapot in a central position where it can be reached comfortably.

Next to it, place the 24 × 13 cm tray with the milk jug and sugar bowl so that all four guests can easily reach it.

Fill the milk jug with approximately 150 ml of fresh milk.

The sugar bowl can be filled with white or brown sugar. For something a little more special, serve homemade vanilla sugar or cinnamon vanilla sugar instead.

A small vase of fresh flowers adds a personal finishing touch.

Tulips or delicate branches are beautiful in spring.

Roses or freshly picked garden flowers are lovely in summer.

Dahlias, rose hips or ornamental grasses create an autumn atmosphere.

During Advent, even a small fir branch and a little natural Christmas decoration can transform the table.

Serve cake or gateau on a larger platter. Chocolates, biscuits or small pastries can be presented in a matching bowl or even on the tray if the milk jug and sugar bowl are placed elsewhere.

The result is an inviting coffee table that feels special without appearing overloaded.

A Special Breakfast Table for 4 People

The set is equally useful for a beautifully arranged breakfast.

Place coffee and tea in suitable pots on the table and position the milk & sugar set within easy reach in the centre.

Complete the breakfast with:

Fresh bread rolls

Croissants

Butter

Jam

Honey

Cheese

Cold cuts

Boiled eggs

Yoghurt

Muesli

Fresh fruit

Orange juice

The milk jug can hold milk for coffee while approximately 150 g of sugar can be kept ready in the sugar bowl.

During a longer brunch, the set can even be repurposed later. After coffee, the jug can hold a dessert sauce while the bowl is filled with small pieces of chocolate.

For Cafés and Patisseries

In a café or patisserie, the set can be brought to the table together with coffee, tea, cake or pastries.

For several tables, different Polish Pottery patterns can be combined to create an individual and welcoming overall presentation.

For Catering, Conferences and Meetings

Three Pieces, Many Possibilities

In the morning, the set provides milk and sugar at the breakfast table. In the afternoon, it accompanies coffee, tea, cake and pastries. In restaurants and cafés, it creates an attractive presentation. At dessert time, the milk jug can become a sauce jug while the sugar bowl holds small toppings.

The tray can carry both vessels together or be used separately for chocolates, biscuits and other small treats.

This makes the 3-piece Polish Pottery milk & sugar set by Ceramika Artystyczna much more than traditional coffee accessories. It is a versatile serving set for everyday life, guests, special occasions and professional hospitality.
