I bought a milk bag jug and am delighted with it. The blue marble glaze (1 of 10+ colours) is…read morepretty enough for the table, yet neutral enough to go with patterned ware. The jug is also much lighter than my old pottery jug so pouring from it is easy. Most importantly, the jug has been designed differently than those wretched plastic milk jugs and holds the bag securely even when it is nearly empty. We have had no more spills and messes. The jug was mailed promptly and arrived well padded and fully intact. I would buy another one if this one broke or to give as a present.
