The pitcher is shaped like a fish and hand-painted in Sicily by ceramic artists working in family-run workshops using traditional techniques. Each pitcher has its own character because the colors are applied by hand — no two pitchers are identical. The ceramic is fired at high temperature, making the surface durable for everyday use.
The fish shape makes the pitcher easy to hold, and the spout is designed to pour liquid smoothly and precisely. It holds about 1 liter and is suitable for water, juice, or wine at the table. Hand wash to preserve the glaze.
Care and maintenance
Hand wash with mild dish soap. Avoid the dishwasher, as high heat and harsh detergents can wear down the hand-painted glaze.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between hand-painted and mass-produced ceramics?
Hand-painted ceramics have colors applied with a brush by an artisan, giving each piece a unique expression. Mass-produced ceramics are printed or sprayed with identical patterns. This pitcher is hand-painted in Sicily, so the placement and intensity of colors vary from piece to piece.
Can the Italian fish pitcher handle hot beverages?
The ceramic is fired at high temperature and can technically withstand heat, but the pitcher is designed for cold drinks like water, juice, and wine. Hand washing is recommended regardless of contents to protect the glaze.
Is a hand-painted ceramic pitcher a good hostess gift?
Yes, especially if the host appreciates craftsmanship or Italian design. The pitcher is functional for the table and decorative enough to display on a shelf. It comes from Sicilian family workshops, so it carries a story.
How do I wash a hand-painted ceramic pitcher without damaging the glaze?
Wash by hand with mild dish soap and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive scrubbers and the dishwasher. Dry with a soft cloth. Hand-painted details last longer with gentle care.
How much liquid does a 24 cm fish pitcher hold?
The pitcher holds about 1 liter, which equals 4-5 glasses of water or juice. The size suits a typical dinner setting for 2-4 people.

Handmade & unique product
Most of my products are handmade or hand-painted. This means that there may be variations in color, finish, and minor imperfections. These variations are a natural part of the handmade look and make each product unique. Minor differences are therefore not considered defects.
