What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise this Extra Large Pitcher for its striking aesthetic and unparalleled capacity, often calling it a kitchen statement piece. Its artisanal quality and unique design clearly distinguish it. The high volume is ideal for entertaining and reducing frequent refills. While the visual appeal and perceived quality justify the premium price, the primary functional critique centers on handling. When completely full, the pitcher becomes heavy, requiring two hands for stable pouring, which raises minor concerns about spills for some users. Despite these practical weight issues, satisfaction remains high due to the successful blend of sophisticated design and high utility.
Know before you buy
No. Because each piece is hand-built from Tajimi clay, you should expect slight irregularities in shape and form. These variations are intentional and reflect the artist's focus on the balance between solid and void.
While it is crafted from earthenware, this piece is designed primarily as a decorative vase or sculptural object. It is not recommended for food or beverage service, and it is not microwave or freezer safe.
This piece is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the unique glaze and surface finish, gently wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents.
Each pitcher is a one-of-a-kind creation, so the specific distribution of the metallic sheen and the depth of the Ecru or Jade glaze will vary. You should expect your piece to have its own unique character and texture.
Yes, the mineral-rich earthenware construction provides a substantial, stable base. Its weight makes it well-suited for displaying dried branches or floral arrangements.
