FAQs
Is this pitcher safe for hot liquids?
Yes, stoneware is generally heat-resistant, but it is not intended for boiling liquids or stovetop use.
Can I use this in the microwave?
While stoneware is typically microwave safe, we recommend checking the bottom stamp for specific microwave-safe icons before heating.
How much does the pitcher weigh?
While the exact weight varies, the stoneware construction provides a sturdy feel, typical of standard 1-litre capacity ceramic jugs.
Is the bow-shaped handle comfortable to hold?
Yes, the handle is designed to be ergonomic, though it is best to support the bottom of the jug when it is filled to capacity.
Does the exterior finish fade over time?
With proper care and dishwasher use on gentle cycles, the colors and embossed details are designed to remain vibrant.
Troubleshooting
Water spots or mineral buildup on the exterior.
Gently wipe the surface with a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
Dishwasher not cleaning the interior thoroughly.
Due to the narrow neck relative to the body size, place the jug at an angle in the dishwasher rack to ensure water spray reaches the bottom inside.

Cons
- Stoneware is susceptible to chipping if dropped or handled roughly

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your pitcher remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: While the pitcher is dishwasher safe, avoid high-heat or industrial cleaning cycles which may dull the decorative finish over time. Hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is the best way to preserve the embossed details.
- Handling: Stoneware can be brittle. Avoid knocking the rim or handle against harder surfaces like granite countertops or stainless steel sinks.
- Thermal Shock: Avoid extreme temperature changes. Do not take the pitcher from a freezer and immediately pour boiling liquid into it, as this can cause the stoneware to crack.
- Placement: Ensure it is placed on a stable surface. The bottom dimensions (13.2 cm deep) provide a wide enough base to prevent tipping during normal use.
