A gorgeous jug by John Kershaw .

Why It’s a Staff Favourite (Mri):

Though not the stereotypical black and gold, John’s style still reminds me of the Hellenic times, which is a much loved period of mine. Where most people grew up reading Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood, I delved into the stories of the ancient Greek gods and monsters. The curves seen on this vase are simply stunning and though I love all of John’s work (including the piece I have in my home), this one is my favourite of those remaining.
