Harvest Moon Ceramic Jug

An ivory jug with a harvest moon on its side, ringed by leaves and a little soft gold. It is the sort of thing that looks right from October onwards and never quite looks wrong after.

Fill it with whatever the season gives you — dried stems, hedgerow cuttings, a supermarket bunch that needs somewhere better to live. It holds its own empty too, which is more than most jugs manage.

Why we love it

• Ivory glaze with gold that catches the lamplight rather than shouting
• A proper jug shape, so tall stems do not tip it
• Autumnal without a single cartoon pumpkin
• Looks considered on a shelf with nothing in it at all

Lovely for

• A hall table that needs something doing to it
• The centre of a table laid for Sunday
• Someone who buys flowers for themselves
• A first autumn in a new house
