Know before you buy
No. Because each piece is individually hand-blown, there will be slight variations in shape and glass texture, making every pitcher unique.
The symbol '北' (north) is a remnant from the original glass fishing floats used to create the pitcher. It serves as a mark of authenticity and a nod to the material's history.
This pitcher is designed for cold liquids. We recommend avoiding boiling water or extreme temperature changes to protect the integrity of the hand-blown glass.
We recommend hand-washing with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using harsh abrasives or high-heat dishwashers to maintain the clarity and finish of the glass.
Given the dimensions of 90mm to 140mm in width and 215mm in height, the pitcher is sized for standard tabletop service, typically holding enough for several glasses of water, iced tea, or wine.
