Know before you buy
Because each piece is individually handcrafted by Nobuhito Nishigawara, there will be subtle variations in shape, texture, and glaze application. You should expect your pitcher to be a unique, one-of-a-kind object rather than a mass-produced replica.
Yes, 55 ounces is quite generous, holding nearly two quarts of liquid. It is well-suited for serving water, iced tea, or cocktails to a group of four to six people.
The handle is designed to be ergonomic and balanced, allowing for a steady grip even when the pitcher is filled to capacity. Its integrated design ensures it is structurally sound and comfortable for pouring.
While the ceramic is durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the artisanal glaze and finish over time. Avoid using harsh abrasives to keep the surface looking its best.
The ceramic material is heat-resistant and can safely hold warm beverages. However, avoid extreme temperature shocks, such as pouring boiling water directly into a chilled pitcher, to prevent potential cracking.
