Frequently Asked Questions
Are these pitchers dishwasher safe?
Stoneware pitchers like the Ellie, Rugueux Carafe, and vintage reproduction are generally dishwasher safe. Hand-blown glass pitchers like the Ruffle and Emily should be hand-washed to prevent chipping and preserve the rattan handle. The Nora Stone Jug and Poterie Renault are best hand-washed due to their handcrafted ceramic construction.
Can I use glass pitchers for hot beverages?
The hand-blown glass pitchers in this collection are designed for cold beverages. Pouring boiling water into room-temperature glass risks thermal shock and cracking. Stoneware pitchers like the Ellie and Rugueux Carafe handle warm liquids better due to stoneware's thermal resistance, but avoid sudden extreme temperature changes.
What is the capacity of these pitchers?
Capacities vary by design. The 72 oz. Stoneware Pitcher holds the most at approximately 9 cups, suited for gatherings. The Rugueux Carafe and Ellie are medium-sized for everyday table use. Check each product listing for the exact fluid ounce capacity.
