The Story
A Mid-Century classic, this 'Tuliptime' creamer jug by J&G Meakin is a masterclass in minimal, functional design. Part of Meakin’s popular stoneware ranges from the 1960s, it features a warm, dark mustard-beige glaze with a subtle speckled finish. Its clean lines and ergonomic handle make it as tactile as it is visually appealing, fitting perfectly into the "modern rustic" kitchen.
The Details
Dimensions: 9cm H (at spout) x 11.5cm W (including handle).
Maker: J&G Meakin, Hanley, Staffordshire.
Pattern: Tuliptime.
Era: Circa 1960s.
Material: Durable stoneware with a soft matte glaze.
Condition: Immaculate vintage condition; appears unused with no signs of wear or age.
Why It’s Special
J&G Meakin was one of the most prolific Staffordshire potteries, known for bringing high-quality, trendy designs to the British public. The 'Tuliptime' range moved away from the ornate florals of the past toward the earthy tones and textured glazes favored in the 1960s and 70s. This specific jug is particularly versatile; its neutral, "speckled egg" appearance allows it to sit comfortably alongside contemporary ceramics.
Styling Tips
Retro Breakfast Table: Pair it with other earth-toned stoneware or teak kitchen accessories. It’s the perfect size for serving milk with morning coffee or cream with dessert.
Bud Vase: When not in use for serving, its minimal form makes it a beautiful bud vase. Place a single, bold stem - like a tulip or a sprig of eucalyptus - to contrast against the matte mustard glaze.
Texture Play: Style it on an open shelf alongside smooth white porcelain and rough-hewn wooden boards. The speckled matte finish adds a layer of visual "warmth" to a neutral kitchen display.
