Know before you buy
Yes, this pitcher is crafted from high-quality ceramic and is food-safe, making it perfectly suitable for serving water, iced tea, or other cold beverages.
We recommend hand washing this piece with mild soap and a soft cloth to preserve the integrity of the sculptural details and the glossy glaze finish.
This pitcher is designed primarily for cold or room-temperature liquids. We advise against using it for boiling water or extremely hot beverages to prevent potential thermal shock to the ceramic.
While the design is highly sculptural, the pitcher is balanced for functional use. The lizard's tail or body acts as a sturdy handle, allowing for a steady pour despite its unique shape.
It is designed to be both. While it functions as a 1.6-liter pitcher, its artistic detail makes it an excellent statement piece for a shelf or as a centerpiece when not in use.
