A little vintage nostalgia with a beautifully dramatic finish.
This one-of-a-kind handmade porcelain milk jug features a striking combination of Chun Plum and Light Flux glazes, creating a rich surface of deep rust-red, burgundy, and softly flowing cream.
The warm, saturated Chun Plum glaze envelops the angular body of the vessel, while Light Flux breaks across its shoulders in delicate, cascading ribbons of ivory, blush, and pale pink. The contrast between the dark, earthy foundation and lighter flowing accents creates an expressive, almost painterly surface that changes from every viewing angle.
Inspired by the familiar silhouette of a vintage milk jug, this handmade ceramic vessel transforms an ordinary household form into a small contemporary sculpture. Its geometric body, integrated handle, and compact proportions celebrate the beauty of everyday objects while giving them a fresh artistic identity.
There is something wonderfully nostalgic about the rich red finish, reminiscent of traditional pottery and vintage kitchenware, yet the spontaneous movement of the glaze lends the piece a distinctly contemporary character. Displayed alone or styled with a simple arrangement of dried flowers, it brings warmth, texture, and an unexpected artistic presence to any space.
Each porcelain milk jug is individually handcrafted and glazed in my North Carolina studio. Natural variations in the firing process ensure that every piece develops its own distinctive finish. No two are exactly alike, making this a small, original work of ceramic art.
