Know before you buy
The pitcher is designed with a balanced shape that allows for a steady grip around the body. While it requires two hands when filled to capacity, the weight of the stoneware provides a stable, controlled pour.
The lid is designed to sit snugly on the rim for serving. However, it is not a locking lid, so you should hold it in place with your thumb while tilting the pitcher to ensure it remains secure.
Stoneware has natural thermal properties that hold temperature much better than plastic or glass. If you chill the pitcher in the refrigerator before filling it, it will keep your tea or lemonade cold for significantly longer during a meal.
Yes, the kiln-fired glaze is highly durable and fully dishwasher safe. It is designed to withstand regular cleaning without fading or losing its protective finish.
As a handcrafted stoneware piece, it has a substantial, high-quality weight. It is heavier than a standard glass or plastic pitcher, which contributes to its durability and ability to maintain cold temperatures.
