Know before you buy
This pitcher holds 40.6 ounces, or approximately 1200 milliliters, making it well-suited for serving water, iced tea, or cocktails to a small group.
No, this piece is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the clarity and integrity of the crystal, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and warm water.
The Colleen Encore Pitcher does not include a lid. Its design focuses on an open-top aesthetic, which is ideal for serving beverages that do not require refrigeration or protection from the air.
The pitcher weighs 57.2 ounces, or about 3.6 pounds. Given the weight of the crystal, it has a substantial, high-quality feel when placed on a table.
The pitcher does not feature a specialized drip-free spout. Because of this, we recommend a steady, controlled pour to ensure the liquid flows cleanly from the vessel.
This pitcher is not microwave safe and is intended for cold or room-temperature beverages. Sudden temperature changes can potentially damage fine crystal, so it is best to avoid using it with boiling water.
