Full details

This Ichendorf Milano Tequila Sunrise Jug is designed for individuals who appreciate unique, handcrafted glassware and seek to elevate their home bar or table setting. Its key benefit is its striking visual appeal, mimicking liquid within the glass, making it a conversational piece. A potential caveat is its delicate nature, requiring careful handling due to its hand-blown borosilicate glass construction. The jug features a modern style, hand-blown in Italy, and is characterized by a juxtaposition of different colored glass elements, creating a visually dynamic effect.

FAQs

What is borosilicate glass?

Borosilicate glass is a type of glass known for its high resistance to thermal shock and chemical corrosion, making it more durable and heat-resistant than common glass.

Can I put ice in the jug?

Yes, you can add ice to the jug. However, avoid adding very hot liquids immediately after very cold ones, or vice-versa, to minimize thermal stress.

Is the jug dishwasher safe?

No, it is recommended to hand wash the jug to preserve its delicate hand-blown nature and vibrant colors. Dishwasher cycles can be too harsh.

What are the dimensions of the jug?

Specific dimensions can vary slightly due to the hand-blown nature, but typically the 'Tequila Sunrise' carafes are designed for convenient handling and serving.

What does 'juxtaposition of glass elements' mean?

It refers to the technique where different colored pieces of glass are fused together, creating a visual effect where colors appear layered or alongside each other, often mimicking the look of liquid within the object itself.

Who designed the Tequila Sunrise collection?

The collection was designed by the Japanese-Italian studio MIST-O.

Where is the jug made?

The Ichendorf Milano Tequila Sunrise Jug is hand-blown and made in Italy.

Troubleshooting

Jug appears cloudy after washing

This can sometimes happen with borosilicate glass. Try washing again with a mild detergent and distilled water, or a solution of vinegar and water, followed by thorough rinsing.

Slight imperfection in glass color or shape

As each piece is hand-blown, minor variations in color placement and slight irregularities are characteristic of the artisanal process and not considered defects.

Residue inside the jug

Use a bottle brush with soft bristles and mild soap to gently clean the interior. For stubborn residue, a soak with a gentle cleaner might be necessary before brushing.
