Pitchers for every occasion – from breakfast to parties
A good pitcher is one of the most frequently used items in any kitchen. It’s used for morning juice, iced coffee in the summer, sangria at parties, and water at dinner. At Dims Studio, we have pitchers in many materials, colors, and sizes —so you can find exactly the right one for your needs.
What size pitcher should you choose?
The size depends on what the pitcher will be used for:
- Small pitchers (0.5–1 liter): For milk, cream, dressing, or as a vase. Perfect for the breakfast table or for two people.
- Medium pitchers (1–1.5 liters): For everyday use—juice, water, or tea for the family.
- Large pitchers (1.5–2+ liters): For parties, sangria, lemonade, or summer drinks for many guests.
If you only have room for one pitcher, a 1.5-liter pitcher is the most versatile choice.
Hand-blown glass pitchers by Anna Von Lipa
Anna Von Lipa’s opal pitchers are made of mouth-blown glass with a characteristic opalescent sheen. They come in several colors and sizes and are just as beautiful for everyday use as they are for parties. The glass is surprisingly durable and can withstand gentle hand washing. They are an obvious choice for anyone who wants something out of the ordinary on the table.
Lemon Pitchers – Summer on the Table
Lemon pitchers are ceramic pitchers shaped like or decorated with lemons. They bring a fresh, Mediterranean vibe to the table and are perfect for lemonade, iced water, or simply as decoration in the kitchen. They are popular summer gifts and also double as vases.
Fish Pitchers with Personality
Fish pitchers are pitchers shaped like fish—typically made of glazed ceramic with detailed scales and fins. They are statement pieces that always draw attention on the table. Use them for water, juice, or cocktails, or let them stand as sculptural elements in the kitchen.
Ceramic fruit pitchers
Fruit pitchers are shaped like or decorated with fruits—oranges, watermelons, pineapples, and other exotic motifs. They are colorful, lively, and give the table setting a playful touch. From Caja Company, we have a special selection of handmade ceramic pitchers with fruit motifs.
What materials are the pitchers made of?
The choice of material affects both appearance, durability, and use:
- Hand-blown glass: Elegant and lightweight, shows off the contents. Anna Von Lipa’s pitchers are the top choice here.
- Ceramic and stoneware: Durable, colorful, and with a handmade character. Keeps beverages cool a little longer.
- Glazed ceramic: Glossy finish with vibrant colors. Fish and fruit pitchers are typically made from this material.
How do you use a pitcher as decoration?
Jugs aren’t just for beverages. A beautiful jug can be used as a vase for wildflowers, as a storage jar for kitchen utensils, or as a purely decorative element on a shelf. The sculptural fish and fruit jugs, in particular, make beautiful eye-catchers in the home.

FAQs about pitchers
Are hand-blown glass pitchers dishwasher-safe?
We recommend hand washing to preserve the shine and avoid scratches. Hand-blown glass is durable, but dishwashers can dull the surface over time.
Can ceramic pitchers be used for hot drinks?
Yes, most ceramic pitchers can handle hot drinks like tea and coffee. However, always check the manufacturer’s instructions, as some decorative pitchers are intended for cold drinks and decoration only.
Which pitcher makes a good gift?
Lemon and fish-shaped pitchers are the most popular gift options because they have personality and serve as both functional items and decorations. A Quail pitcher with an animal motif is also a safe choice for the animal lover.
Can I use a pitcher as a vase?
Yes, many of our pitchers work excellently as vases. Especially the smaller pitchers and the sculptural designs offer a unique alternative to a traditional vase.
