Sobremesa Jug / Story
Part of a design collaboration between HAY and artist Laila Gohar that celebrates the joy of meeting family and friends over a good meal, the Sobremesa Jug is a beautiful jug designed to add a decorative edge to any table setting. Hand-painted in stoneware with a monochrome pattern that gives each jug a unique quality, it can also be used as a vase or for storing kitchen utensils.
