Know before you buy
No, this piece is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the delicate hand-decorated porcelain, we recommend hand-washing with mild soap to preserve the integrity of the design.
No, this milk jug is designed as an open-top creamer without a lid. It features a convenient handle for easy pouring during service.
It is designed for both. While it functions perfectly as a creamer for your coffee or tea service, its artistic value makes it a striking decorative object when not in use.
To maintain the glossy finish and the detail of the Lina Cavalieri motif, avoid abrasive sponges or harsh cleaning chemicals. A soft cloth and gentle hand-washing are sufficient to keep the porcelain in pristine condition.
The jug features the iconic 'Tema e Variazioni' design, which showcases the surrealist eye motif of Lina Cavalieri. It is a classic example of Fornasetti's signature blend of fine art and functional tableware.
