Brash, charming and unmistakably playful, the Seletti Mermaid Jug brings tattoo lore to the tabletop. Designed by Simone Falcetta for Seletti, this hand-painted ceramic pitcher lives in the Bottles and Jugs family and reads as equal parts functional server and decorative objet: a conversation starter that pours as well as it performs.

Tattoo imagery made three-dimensional

Inspired by the language of old-school tattoos, the Mermaid Jug translates sirens, anchors and sailor motifs into sculpted relief and vivid surface painting. Is it a pitcher or a tiny stage for pop-folk myth? The answer is both: a tattoo style jug that wears its references proudly and dresses a table with nostalgic attitude. Perfectly paired with other pieces from the Seletti tableware collection, it brings playful cohesion and character to any dining or display setting.

Handcrafted character

Each jug is hand painted, which means every piece carries slight variations and the mark of a human hand. The ceramic body is shaped for comfortable pouring while the painted motifs remain crisp and graphic: a hand painted pitcher with artisanal personality. Celebrate its vibrant, hand-painted hues that turn the piece into a playful, artistic accent for any table or display. It is part of the Seletti Kintsugi collection, where craftsmanship and color merge to create truly unique objects.

Made to serve, built to last

Practical as it is poetic, the jug is dishwasher safe and robust enough for daily use, so you can actually live with it rather than look at it behind glass. It’s a designer water jug designed to handle real life: hold a pitcher of iced tea, sparkling water or tall stems and let it anchor breakfasts, long lunches and boisterous dinners alike. Pair the Mermaid Jug with rustic ceramics for a sunworn, coastal table or combine it with contemporary glassware to create an ironic, curated contrast. It plays well with textured linens, graphic plates and sculptural lighting: in short, it’s a perfect partner for eclectic tabletops and retail displays that favour personality over perfection. As part of the Seletti Hybrid collection, it bridges playful design and everyday functionality for a truly versatile addition to your home.
