Pompeii Ceramic Jug Fountain with Internal Accent Lighting

interior designer — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 06:02:00 +0000

Table-top fountains are an excellent dynamic decorative accessory for home office interiors and living rooms. They provide a relaxing backdrop to a scene and can add classical beauty to a décor arrangement. This is certainly true when it comes to this lovely Pompeii ceramic jug fountain especially made for tables, desks and shelves. As can be seen, it is inspired by the ancient pottery of Rome and even takes its name from the chaos that was the destruction of Pompeii.

Why Pompeii? The ceramic jug fountain is comprised of what seems at first like a broken jug but which is in fact the very essence of the fountain itself. The handcrafted waterfall is made from a collection of natural stone which has been cemented into place within the ceramic body. An invisible pump system takes care of the water’s movement whilst internal lighting provides excellent accent possibilities. Just imagine it glowing with the lights turned down low.

There’s something both energising and relaxing about the cascade of water over stone. Waterfalls and fountains in nature are popular locations for people to visit and in some cases become shrines and pilgrimage sites. Mankind has always been fascinated with water and this Pompeii ceramic jug indoor fountain is no different.

If you are into Feng Shui, then a small indoor fountain is going to be of great benefit and can be placed in a position which will fulfil the needs of your space. This type of jug fountain can be placed in just about any location as one would a jug, decorative bowl or statue. Wherever you want the soothing sound of cascading water will be a perfect place, whether this is in a home library area, bedroom, bathroom or hallway.

We all know our milk comes from cows but it’s not something we generally like to contemplate too much when enjoying our breakfast cereals or a cup of milky tea.

It’s not just milk for which this udder shaped jug can be used for. Fruit juices, alcoholic beverages and water can also be contained in this unique cow-themed pitcher. The double wall structure of the glass pitcher means the udder shape is more pronounced whilst also keeping the liquid inside cooler for much longer.

If you or someone you know has a weak spot for all things related to cows then this humorous Heffer Pitcher will make the perfect gift. Situated on the kitchen counter, it will compliment cow themed kitchen accessories such as tea cosies, plates and sugar bowls. It’s a definite must have for any farming family.

Contemporary Slender Shaped Water Jug | The Menu Pil Bredahl

interior designer — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:00:52 +0000

Water jugs for pouring water into drinking glasses are usually a simple affair. We imagine a regular shaped jug with a glass handle and a gentle groove of a spout at the top. However, the Menu Pil Bredahl water jug is something else entirely. This is a contemporary slender shaped water jug with a lid that automatically opens when pouring. It’s both elegantly stylish and highly functional.

The Menu Pil Bredahl water jug is the creation of award winning Danish designer Pil Bredahl. A former student at the famous Danish Design School, Bredahl has gained a name as one of the more creative and dynamic of young furniture and house-ware designers in Europe and indeed, the world. Her talent can be seen with this contemporary water jug which combines form with function beautifully.

The slender design of the Menu Pil Bredahl water jug means it will compliment a variety of settings whether on a table indoors or outdoors. A special mechanism in the lid section allows the water to be poured without having to take off, or even touch, the lid itself. When the water jug is placed back on the table, the lid closes thereby preventing dust and insects to fall into the fresh water. The automation of the lid also insures any ice cubes, mint leaves or slices of lemon stay inside.

This contemporary glass water jug will make a great tableware and serving accessory for garden and house parties where a little modern flair is desired.

It’s had some very good reviews which you can read via the link above.

Thermos Jug in Black by Pernille Vea

As the Autumn season approaches, we know that the Winter and cold weather cannot be far behind. This leads us to think about the kitchenware we might need to replace and improve upon for when the temperatures head south. Keeping liquids hot for longer periods of time is just such a need. The answer to this need is something like the black contour thermos jug as seen in the pictures that follow.

You could of course just use a regular flask for pouring your coffee, tea, warm soup and hot chocolate into suitable tableware. However, this would not be conducive to the homely look and decor you would want to achieve in a family kitchen. With this stylish black thermos jug, you get a perfectly functioning thermal container as well as a stylish and contemporary shaped jug.

The black thermo jug is composed of high-tech and very efficient materials that keep liquids either hot of cold depending on the desired outcome. Inside the jug, a thermal insert is made up of double-walled stainless steel which can hold up to one liter of liquid. More regular thermos jugs are made of glass and as a result are not as good as insulation as this black contour thermo jug by Danish designer Pernille Vea.

The outer shell of this modern looking jug is made up of solid thermal synthetic material which is coated with synthetic rubber as well as colored in matt black. This means the thermo jug is both wonderfully stylish and also mercifully easy to clean. On top is a screw-on lid which is completely air tight. The jug is opened by a mere press of a button which is located in the middle of the lid.

This sophisticated thermos jug is perfect for a modern home kitchen that needs a little added design elegance.
