Jug of the Month - July

 

I've lusted after this jug and am very pleased to welcome it to my home. Bristol Long Line, designed by Honor Elliot in the 1960s. She was the youngest member of the design team when she came to Bristol in 1959. The Long Line design was used to decorate a pre-existing shape; the "BRISTOL KITCHENWARE " range, but I've not seen this double spouted jug in the Kitchenware range.

 

 

The Long Line range was featured in the Woman’s Journal ‘House of the Year 1962’ at Coombe Dingle, Bristol, and won a recommendation from the Good Housekeeping Institute, which is printed on the bottom of each piece.

 

 

Wedding Favours

   

Congratulations to my brother and my new sister in law. A lovely wedding day in Bath. I made white jugs marked with their initials and the wedding date as favours. Added tiny dots of gold lustre and put them in blingy gold bags.

     

Birthday Cake

My birthday cake featured a potter's wheel. Thank you Mary. You are very clever!
