Know before you buy
Because each piece is individually handcrafted from black terracotta in Paris, there will be subtle variations in shape and glaze. These unique characteristics are intentional and ensure that your pitcher is truly one-of-a-kind.
No, this piece is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the delicate nature of the artisanal terracotta and glaze, we recommend hand washing it gently with mild soap.
The finish is a classic white glaze over black terracotta, which typically results in a tactile, slightly organic surface rather than a perfectly smooth, industrial-style finish.
While the pitcher is crafted from durable terracotta, it is primarily designed for serving cold liquids or as a decorative object. We recommend avoiding extreme temperature shocks to preserve the integrity of the glaze.
No, this design features an open top without a lid, making it ideal for pouring water, wine, or displaying fresh floral arrangements.
