This charming small Polish Pottery jug by Ceramika Artystyczna is a wonderfully versatile piece for the breakfast table, coffee table, kitchen, restaurant, café, hotel, catering and home decoration.

With a height of approx. 10 cm, a maximum overflow capacity of approx. 165 ml and a weight of only approx. 160 g, it is particularly convenient for serving small portions.

The longest dimension at the top, including the handle, is approx. 9.5 cm, while the shortest dimension is approx. 7.5 cm. The base measures approx. 5 cm in diameter.

Its small size is part of its special charm. Use it for milk with coffee or tea, flavoured milk mixtures, separately prepared milk foam, cream, syrup, sauces, dressings, olive oil or vinegar.

Add just a few small flowers and the little milk jug becomes an adorable miniature vase.

A Little Vase for Flowers Picked by a Child

One of the most charming uses for this little jug is as a flower vase.

Children often return from the garden or a walk with a tiny bouquet they have picked themselves. A few daisies, forget-me-nots, wildflowers or short grasses are often too small for an ordinary vase.

This little jug is perfect for exactly those precious little bouquets.

A child's hand-picked flowers can have their own special place on the breakfast table, kitchen table, windowsill or bedside table. Just a few simple flowers become a loving decoration and turn a child's small gift into a memorable moment.

Ideal for:

Daisies

Forget-me-nots

Violets

Small roses

Lavender

Cornflowers

Small marguerites

Herb blossoms

Short tulips

Wildflowers

Decorative grasses

Small twigs

As a Milk Jug for Coffee and Tea

With a maximum capacity of approx. 165 ml, this jug is ideal for serving small quantities of milk.

Instead of placing a milk carton or bottle on a beautifully laid breakfast or coffee table, milk can be presented stylishly in Polish Pottery.

Ideal for serving milk with:

Filter coffee

Cappuccino

Espresso

Americano

Café au lait

Black tea

Earl Grey

Chai

Green tea

Matcha

Cocoa

Its small capacity is particularly convenient for one person or a small number of guests.

For Baristas and Prepared Milk Foam

The small jug can also be used in cafés and restaurants or beside the coffee machine at home.

It is suitable for serving milk or milk foam that has already been prepared separately, for example with cappuccino, espresso macchiato and other coffee specialities.

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

Special Milk Mixtures for Coffee and Tea

Its small size makes the jug ideal for serving special flavoured milk mixtures. Guests can add a subtle individual flavour to their coffee or tea.

For Jam, Fruit Compote and Fruit Purée

Small amounts of more fluid jam, fruit compote or fruit purée can also be presented attractively in the jug at breakfast.

This is particularly useful for hotels, guesthouses or a special Sunday breakfast where several different small portions are offered.

The jug is suitable for individual portions or small quantities of:

Milk

Prepared milk foam

Cream

Syrup

Olive oil

Vinegar

Dressing

Fruit sauce

Gravy

This allows attractive, portion-controlled presentation directly at the guest's table.

For Hotels, Guesthouses and Breakfast Buffets

Small quantities of dressings, fruit sauces and other accompaniments can also be presented in them.

For commercial use, different contents should be clearly labelled for guests.

For Weddings, Birthdays and Festive Tables

Several small jugs in different patterns can be distributed along a long table.

Some can hold small flowers, while others can be used for milk, cream, dressings or sauces.

At weddings in particular, small floral arrangements in different Polish Pottery patterns can create a charming and highly individual table decoration.

As a Table and Home Decoration

Even when empty, the little jug is an attractive decorative piece of Polish Pottery.

It can be displayed on a:

Windowsill

Kitchen shelf

Coffee table

Dining table

Sideboard

Bedside table

Desk

Display cabinet

Depending on the season, it can be filled with small flowers, twigs, grasses or other natural materials.

Decorating for Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter

In spring, use small tulips, forget-me-nots or short twigs.

In summer, wildflowers, lavender and herbs are ideal.

In autumn, decorative grasses, rose hips or small branches create a seasonal arrangement.

In winter, small fir branches or berry twigs can transform the milk jug into a miniature Advent or Christmas decoration.

For Small Bunches of Fresh Herbs

A few freshly cut kitchen herbs can also be placed decoratively in the jug for a short time.

For example:

Parsley

Chives

Mint

Basil

Rosemary

Thyme

Freshly harvested herbs can therefore be both practical and decorative on the kitchen counter or dining table.

As a Small Utensil Holder

The jug can also hold small items such as:

Small brushes

Pens and pencils

Toothpicks

Small spoons

Cocktail picks

Floristry accessories

Craft supplies

If the jug is permanently used for non-food purposes, it should subsequently be kept separate from food and beverage use.

For the Workshop

The small ceramic jug can also be used in a workshop as a decorative container or for the short-term provision of suitable technical liquids.

Before using technical oils, lubricants or other workshop liquids, check whether the particular substance is compatible with the ceramic and glaze.

Aggressive, toxic, corrosive or solvent-containing substances should not be used without explicit confirmation of material compatibility.

Once the jug has been used for technical oils or other workshop substances, it should be permanently separated from food use and should not later be used for milk, food or beverages.

A Small Jug for Many Beautiful Moments

In the morning, it can stand beside the coffee cup filled with milk. At Sunday breakfast, it can hold vanilla milk or cream. At lunchtime, it becomes a dressing jug, and in the evening it can serve a little olive oil with fresh bread.

And when a child comes home from the garden with three tiny daisies they have picked themselves, the milk jug becomes a little flower vase.

It is precisely this versatility that makes the small jug with a maximum capacity of approx. 165 ml such a charming piece of Polish Pottery for everyday life, professional gastronomy and those little moments that become special memories.
