Know before you buy
While the pitcher is crafted from earthenware and features a food-safe glaze, its primary appeal is its historical design. It is functional for serving liquids, but due to its delicate hand-painted finish and antique-inspired construction, we recommend careful handling.
To preserve the vibrant, hand-painted glaze, we recommend hand-washing the pitcher with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive sponges or placing it in the dishwasher, as these can damage the decorative finish over time.

Yes, the pitcher features an integrated handle designed for a comfortable grip. It is balanced to support the weight of the vessel when filled, though it is best to support the base when pouring for added stability.
