A whale of a breakfast

When I was younger, eating breakfast seemed to be an event rather than a quick grab and go kind of thing. Each morning my mom would have a rooster pitcher on the table full of either milk (if we were having cereal) or juice. When poured, the liquid came out of the rooster’s mouth. He was therefore deemed as the 'sick rooster'.



Although the rooster is a tradition for my family, between me and you - it has seen better days and could afford to be replaced. But, what would be better than this iconic sick rooster that has been on the table since my childhood? Um...a WHALE PITCHER! And, how much more realistic is it that a whale would have liquid coming out of its mouth (especially if it is a baleen whale – which it appears to be seeing that there are throat grooves on this little guy)...Sold. The price sits at $95, however is appropriate for fancy meals in the dining room, dinner parties or even a simple breakfast with the fam.




If you are not a pitcher kind of person, don’t worry because there is a matching butter dish! Let’s be honest, who doesn’t need a butter dish…? And for $68 it is doable.
