Georg Jensen Quack Serving Jug

The Georg Jensen company has been producing stylish designs for over a century now, but the name is still most closely associated with mid-century Scandinavian style. The Quack Serving Jug is another great example of that style.

The jug is so named because its body shape is based on a duck, although I first noticed its retro-style curves rather than its resemblance to a bird. It is made from aluminium and insulating plastic. It is available in a choice of three colours – black, beige or brown, with the latter being the best bet for a truly retro look.

It is available to buy from the Howath Gallery priced £59.
