Yes, the ceramic construction is suitable for both hot and cold beverages. However, please note that the pitcher is not microwave safe, so you should heat your liquids separately before pouring them in.
No, the Adélaïde Pitcher is designed without a handle, staying true to its classic 18th-century aesthetic. Its size and shape are intended to be held comfortably by the body of the vessel.
While it is a functional piece, it is handcrafted from fine ceramic and should be handled with care. It is beautiful enough for formal entertaining but durable enough for regular use if treated with the standard caution required for artisanal ceramics.
