Full description
This beautiful bone china cream jug is made in Stoke on Trent and holds 1/2 pint of liquid! It stands approximately 4.5" high.
This would make a lovely housewarming, wedding or birthday gift! This cute jug can be used for lots of different things including:
- chocolate sauce
- custard
- gravy
- cream
It features an illustration of a fox being fed sandwiches by a hare!
First of all I create my drawings using pen, ink and watercolours. I then scan the image into my computer, resize it so it will fit perfectly onto the china, then send it to a man named Jason in Stoke-on-Trent (the pottery capital of England). Jason prints my image using sublimation inks then coats it with a magical formula that makes my image into a transfer (kind of like a temporary tattoo you used to put on a a child to trick your parents). Meanwhile I call up a man called Paul who also lives in Stoke-on-Trent to order some of his china. Paul's family business makes all the china on the premises.
Once the china and transfers have arrived at my little house, the fun can begin, I cut out the transfers and soak them in a bowl of water until they slip off the backing paper, I then very carefully apply the transfer to the surface of the piece, using a squigee to gently work out all the tiny air bubbles and creases until it is perfect. When I am happy that each transfer has been applied perfectly, I place my 'Mellor Ware' mark beneath each piece.
The china is then fired at 850 degrees for 12 hours. This re-glazes over the illustration and seals it on forever. All Mellor Ware is dishwasher and microwave safe. The colours will never fade or scratch off.
