This is a Nicholas Mosse small milk jug – it is expensive table wear (about €30)
This milk jug has been hanging around our house, broken, for one year. We did not want to throw it away because it is a nicely crafted jug. We had the pencil grip in the house and realized it was a good fit.- Why do you think it is important to repair things?
These are expensive and hand crafted items. They are often gifts from loved ones. Having the opportunity to fix these items would cause much joy, I think.
