FAQs
What makes the Ono Jug's design unique?
The distinctive hole in the center is created by piercing the molten glass while it's still hot and then shaping the hollow using traditional wooden tools, a signature artisanal technique.
Is the LSA International Ono Jug dishwasher safe?
No, the jug is made from mouth-blown glass and is not dishwasher safe. It must be hand washed to prevent damage.
What is the capacity of this jug?
This particular model has a capacity of 2.25 liters.
Can I use this jug for hot liquids?
No, this jug is designed for cold beverages only. Using hot liquids could cause the glass to crack.
Is it normal for mouth-blown glass to have small bubbles?
Yes, small bubbles or slight variations in thickness are normal characteristics of mouth-blown glass and are part of its handmade charm.
How should I store the jug when not in use?
Store it in a safe place where it won't be knocked over. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
Does the hole in the jug affect pouring?
The hole is primarily a design feature. It does not typically interfere with pouring, but it's advisable to pour at a moderate pace.
Troubleshooting
Jug appears cloudy after washing
This may be due to hard water residue. Try washing with a mild vinegar and water solution, then rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft cloth.
Minor imperfections in the glass
As the jug is mouth-blown, slight variations and small bubbles are characteristic of the handcrafted process and do not affect its functionality or beauty.
Difficulty gripping the jug securely
Ensure hands are dry before gripping. The unique design may require a slightly different holding technique than a standard jug; practice a few times when it's empty to get accustomed to it.
