Know before you buy
The pitcher is crafted from heavy-gauge steel, which provides a sturdy, substantial feel. While the weight increases when filled with 96 ounces of liquid, the integrated handle is designed for a secure grip to make pouring manageable.
No, this model does not include a lid. It features an open-top design, which makes it easy to fill with ice or fruit slices for infused beverages.
To maintain the integrity of the hand-glazed finish and the Courtly Checks pattern, we recommend hand-washing with mild soap and drying immediately. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals that could scratch the surface.
While the steel construction is durable, this pitcher is primarily designed for cold beverages like iced tea, lemonade, or water. We do not recommend using it for boiling liquids or high-heat applications.
Because each piece is hand-painted, there may be slight variations in the pattern from one pitcher to the next. This artisanal process ensures that every item is unique.
