Know before you buy
Muslin glass is an exceptionally thin, lightweight material known for its clarity and delicate appearance. Despite its fragile look, it is surprisingly resilient, though it requires a gentle touch during handling.
While the pitcher is technically dishwasher safe on a delicate cycle, we strongly recommend hand washing. This preserves the integrity of the thin glass and prevents potential damage from high-pressure water or accidental contact with other dishes.
The pitcher is designed with a balanced, ergonomic shape that allows for a secure grip despite the lack of a handle. Its lightweight construction makes it easy to maneuver even when full.
No, this pitcher is designed specifically for serving cold beverages. It is not insulated, and the thin muslin glass is not intended to withstand extreme temperature changes.
The design does not feature a specialized drip-free spout. We recommend a steady, controlled pour to ensure the best experience when serving.
