To keep it as beautiful and pristine as possible, we recommend that you follow the following advice:
• Avoid rough handling and sudden changes in temperature as this may cause the appearance of fine lines on the surface known as crazing. Crazing does NOT affect the life or the usefulness of the pottery, and some people feel this adds to the character and appeal of the pottery. It is nothing to worry about.
• Our pottery is dishwasher safe; please stack it carefully to avoid knocking.
• Our pottery is microwave safe but continuous use should be avoided.
• Stubborn stains may be removed by soaking in a mild bleach solution.
• For our ovenware pottery (and also our tabletop ware), avoid metal scourers or harsh abrasives.
• Only use our special Nicholas Mosse Ovenware in your oven, avoid direct heat and do not use on a hob or near a naked flame
All Nicholas Mosse products are well packed in ecologically friendly, recycled packing. Insurance is included in the shipping charge.
Absolutely love my cookie jar. So much nicer than I expected. Looks great on my kitchen counter. Arrived well packaged and all packaging was recyclable. A very happy customer here
I love this cookie jar! It is bigger than expected (which is good, as I have a sweet tooth?) The only slight downside to it is that its base scratches marble if you slide it, rather than lift it. I am delighted that you have launched the trivets in other designs however, as one of them will solve the problem! (The tile trivet doesn’t look quite right!)
Bought this as a Christmas gift for good friends. They’ll appreciate the fine workmanship of this beautiful cookie Jar. So glad to find your shop! I’ll be back to purchase more!
I bought it as a gift . Looks stunning. A Centre piece and great as a talking point round a table. I love Nicholas Mosse great pieces to collect and memories of people buying them as gifts for years to come. Thank you as always .
The cookie jar is for a raffle prize in our local parish Christmas lottery. It is still in its box. However Nicholas Mosse makes the best pots in the world!!! :-) With best regards and Happy Christmas to all in Bennetsbridge from Milan, Ewan
Well wrapped, bought as Xmas present, arrived alot faster than expected very good packaging no fear of breaking. Product looks great very happy with quality
I love it but would prefer it if it had a rubber seal!
Also I love the small oval oven dishes but I dropped one taking it out of the oven and it smashed I’d love if they had a little handle / piece to hold .

Lovely cookie Jar, great service on your website.. it was a Birthday present for my daughter-in-law who has some other pieces from the Old Rose collection.. she was delighted with it as she wasn't expecting the jar to be so big..
Cookie Jar was a Christmas Present for our Great Grandson on his first birthday Dec 25 2017. His Great Grandfather intends to help eat the cookies until Brian is old enough .
Every piece of Nicholas Mosse undergoes a 20-step, handmade process.
Basic Forming
Clay comes from the ground and we mix different sorts of clays to create our own, high quality earthenware. We dig, blunge, sieve, filter and pug the clay to form extruded logs of wet clay, which are then cut into the exact size and weight for each item. The thrower takes this lump and centers and forms it on an electric potter’s wheel.
Wet Clay or Greenware
The little jug body is dried to a "leather hard" stage, and then a handle is attached to it with a glue-like substance called slip. Small imperfections are fettled and cleared away to make the pot ready for the next stage.
Slip Dipping
When it reaches a very particular level of hardness, the little jug can be lowered into the liquid slip bucket. This type of slip is made from our same clay but with more water and less iron, to make it whiter. The slip is viscous and makes another pot cleaning necessary.
Bisque Kiln Firing
Once again the jug needs to harden even more, so it can withstand being stamped with our Nicholas Mosse logo. It then waits for its turn in the kiln and receives a first firing or ‘bisque’ firing, which removes all water from the clay and makes it hard and ready to decorate.
Decorating
Nicholas Mosse Pottery has a large group of shapes, from mugs to plates to bowls, which are all hand decorated in one of our 10 or so patterns. Each motif is applied by hand, one at a time, in different underglaze colours. The pots are then dipped into clear glaze and fired again.
