Whether serving lemonade at a backyard birthday party or bringing freshly squeezed orange juice to the breakfast table, the stoneware pitcher looks great on any table and is strong enough to stand up to both temperature extremes, from the refrigerator to boiling water for tea. Due to the density of the stoneware, hot liquids stay hot and cold liquids stay cold between pours.With its oversized side handle for added control and a special spout-shaped lip for drip-free pouring, this pitcher is ideal for large parties and self-serve buffet tables. It even makes an original and decorative vase for fresh-cut flowers.
