Know before you buy
Yes, the pitcher is designed for serving beverages. The interior is fully glazed, which provides a protective, non-porous surface that is safe for liquids.
Because each piece is handmade and the local clays react uniquely during the firing process, your pitcher will have subtle variations in color and texture. You should expect your item to be a one-of-a-kind piece rather than an exact replica of the photography.
No, this pitcher requires hand washing. To maintain the integrity of the clay and the finish, avoid using bleach-based cleaners or harsh scouring pads.
Yes, you should avoid filling the pitcher with very greasy substances. The exterior clay texture is porous, and oily residues may be difficult to remove or could potentially stain the surface.
