FAQs

Is the Ichendorf Milano Sogni D'oriente Jug dishwasher safe?

No, due to its handcrafted nature, this jug is handwash only. Using a dishwasher may damage the glass or its decorative elements.

What material is the jug made from?

The jug is entirely made from high-quality borosilicate glass.

Can I use this jug for hot beverages?

While borosilicate glass has good heat resistance, this particular design is optimized for cold or room-temperature beverages and decorative use. It is not recommended for serving boiling liquids.

What does 'Sogni D'Oriente' mean?

'Sogni D'Oriente' translates to 'Dreams of the East', reflecting the jug's inspiration from the magical tales of 'One Thousand and One Nights' and traditional Islamic art.

What is the purpose of the green orb on the stopper?

The green orb is a decorative element that adds a unique visual appeal to the jug, complementing its overall design inspired by Middle Eastern aesthetics.

How should I handle the stopper?

The stopper is designed to fit snugly. Remove it gently by lifting it straight up or with a slight twist. Ensure it is dry before reinserting to maintain a good seal.

Can this jug be used as a vase?

Yes, its beautiful design makes it an excellent and striking option for use as a decorative vase for flowers.

Troubleshooting

Jug seems unstable

Ensure the jug is placed on a flat, stable surface and that the flared base is not obstructed.

Water spots on the glass

Dry the jug thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth immediately after washing. Consider using distilled water for washing if your tap water is very hard.

Stopper is difficult to remove or insert

Ensure the glass rim and the stopper are clean and dry. A slight twist might help. Avoid forcing it.

Cloudiness in the glass

This can sometimes occur with hard water deposits. Try soaking the jug in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water for a short period, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
