[unpaid/affiliate] One among my favorite Christmas presents this 12 months was this lovely Ichendorf Milano glass jug from Lucy. It’s a really ‘me’ sort of factor – a utilitarian piece with one thing quirky about it. I exploit presently for lengthy stem flowers as a result of the fish reveals via and it appears to be like prefer it’s swimming in reeds.
The historical past of Ichendorf Milano is a bit tough to decipher as a result of I believe it’s carried out on Google translate however I can inform you that its origins started at first of the twentieth century in a small city close to Cologne referred to as Quadrath-Ichendorf. It wasn’t till the Nineties that Ichendorf opened a studio in Milan to draw artists and artistic concepts. The Animal Farm assortment which the jug is from was developed in 2018 and I’m guessing (hoping) it’s been an absolute money cow for them as a result of high quality plain glass, irrespective of how good the form, is a distinct segment space when you will get glasses nearly wherever and for any number of costs. The fish pitcher is £62 HERE.
What I like about Animal Farm is the whimsy of it and regardless of the actual fact you wouldn’t look forward to finding a fish, duck, turtle, rabbit or cactus on the backside of your jug or glass, they seem like they’re meant to be there. The rabbit pitcher is £56 HERE.
The spherical model of fish is £56 HERE.
The turtle jug is giving me summer time vibes for elderflower coolers or Pimms… sure please! It’s additionally £56 HERE. I keep in mind my grandparents had some flowery glasses that – await it – they obtained with petrol coupons. If you purchased petrol you bought a voucher and if you had sufficient vouchers you might get a ‘present’ and so they selected glasses – however I by no means forgot them and really, this can be a very ‘them’ factor – if these had been round once they have been, they’d have jumped at them. Was it Esso? I do know somebody will know :-).
I’ve obtained a few examples of the glasses – so tempting – which begin at £18. I’ll take a gin and tonic out of this any day of the week! It’s HERE.
Or Coral? Take your choose! These are in 4 completely different colors HERE. So, one thing a bit completely different for this Friday – however too beautiful to not point out.
