The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century England, a Toby jug is a moulded earthenware pitcher sculpted in the likeness of a figure or character, with the hat rim traditionally forming the pouring spout.

Victorian Staffordshire jugs were hand-moulded from local earthenware clay, kiln-fired, and decorated with polychrome enamel glazes and underglaze lead finishes.

Authentic period pieces display hand-painted enamel details, subtle mold seam marks, age-appropriate glaze crazing, and unglazed or smooth-worn foot rims.

These ceramic vessels serve as accent pieces when arranged on a fireplace mantelpiece, styled inside a glazed bookcase, or positioned on a sideboard alongside traditional tableware.

Dust gently using a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding water immersion or abrasive cleaners that could enter micro-fractures in the glaze.
