Know before you buy
The exterior features the natural, raw texture of the local clay. While it is durable, we recommend wiping up spills promptly to prevent the porous surface from absorbing liquids.
We recommend hand washing this piece to protect the integrity of the handcrafted ceramic and the natural exterior finish.
The pitcher weighs 2.2 lbs empty. When filled to its 50 oz capacity, it will weigh approximately 5.3 lbs, which is well-balanced by the integrated handle.
Yes, the ceramic is heat-resistant and suitable for warm liquids. However, because the exterior is unglazed, the surface will become warm to the touch.
Because each piece is kiln-fired, the heat creates unique variations in color and texture. You should expect your pitcher to have slight, intentional differences that make it one-of-a-kind.
