Strong, freezing winds blow successive layers of frozen moisture onto the branches, gradually encasing the trees and transforming their shape into fanciful, irregular silhouettes. From a distance, they resemble enormous creatures standing amidst the snow-covered mountains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is precisely these soft, rounded, and somewhat surreal shapes that inspired the forms of the Zao jugs. Their silhouettes are deliberately irregular and organic – resembling a winter sculpture more than a classic jug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colors, on the other hand, are my own interpretation of this winter landscape. I was inspired by the \u003cstrong\u003esunlight reflecting off the snow and falling on the ice-covered silhouettes of the trees\u003c\/strong\u003e – a cool landscape meeting warmer, more atmospheric hues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause with a perceived temperature reaching even \u003cstrong\u003e-30°C\u003c\/strong\u003e, only one thing remains: a cup of hot coffee, tea, or chocolate. ☕❄️\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo of the jugs are additionally equipped with \u003cstrong\u003ecoffee filters\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing them to serve as ceramic drippers and prepare freshly brewed coffee directly in the jug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZao is a proposition primarily for \u003cstrong\u003ecoffee lovers, admirers of winter landscapes, and those who appreciate objects with more organic, dreamy forms\u003c\/strong\u003e. A jug that can become not only a practical vessel but also a small sculpture on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e stoneware glazed with food-safe and secure Amaco\/Mayco glazes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e fired at 1210°C, food-safe, lead-free, non-toxic, suitable for hot and cold beverages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsage:\u003c\/strong\u003e dishwasher and microwave safe, with the exception of elements for which the filter manufacturer recommends different usage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach piece is \u003cstrong\u003eunique and hand-formed\u003c\/strong\u003e, so you receive a one-of-a-kind item. Handicraft is not mass production – irregularities, differences in shape, glaze, and color are a natural part of the creation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade by Planty by Joanna Maria Rosińska\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade in Poland\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"mailto:planty.by.jmr@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eplanty.by.jmr@gmail.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstagram: @planty.by.jmr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Planty","offers":[{"title":"Zao Jug with Winter dripper","offer_id":54639052718407,"sku":null,"price":310.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Zao jug with Aurora dripper","offer_id":54639052751175,"sku":null,"price":310.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Zao nerikomi porcelain jug","offer_id":54639052783943,"sku":null,"price":290.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Zao Aurora Pink Jug","offer_id":54687791939911,"sku":null,"price":210.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"On order","offer_id":54687813009735,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/2423\/0853\/files\/cmsynj_jpeg_c5bb7c61-e19b-44ab-9ba6-ad016b2b63ff.jpg?v=1786903668","url":"https:\/\/alike.live\/en\/products\/kolekcja-zao-dzbanki-i-dripery-do-kawy","provider":"Alike Pottery Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
