Caja Company imports this faience pitcher directly from Italian ceramic workshops, where artisans hand-paint each strawberry motif. The white woven base serves as a neutral background for the red and green strawberries. Italian faience is fired at high temperatures, giving the material its characteristic durability and shine. With a 2-liter capacity, the pitcher holds enough for 8-10 glasses.
Care and maintenance
Wash with mild dish soap and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive powders and steel wool, as they scratch the hand-painted surface. Suitable for hot drinks up to approx. 80°C.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between faience and porcelain pitchers?
Faience is fired at a lower temperature than porcelain (900-1100°C vs. 1200-1400°C), resulting in a more porous and warmer material. Faience pitchers are thicker and retain heat better but are heavier than porcelain. The porous surface makes faience ideal for hand-painting with vibrant colors.
Is the strawberry pitcher dishwasher safe?
It is not recommended. Hand-painted faience pitchers should be washed by hand, as the dishwasher’s high temperatures and strong detergents wear down the paint over time. Hand washing with mild soap preserves the colors best.
Can I serve hot cocoa or coffee in the faience pitcher?
Yes, the pitcher can handle hot drinks up to about 80°C. However, avoid pouring boiling liquids directly from the stove, as sudden temperature changes can cause cracks in the glaze. Let coffee or tea cool for 1-2 minutes before pouring.
Is a hand-painted strawberry pitcher a good hostess gift for a summer party?
Yes, especially for hosts who appreciate colorful table settings and practical gifts. The pitcher is useful for everyday use and summer gatherings, and the strawberry motif suits events from June to August. Consider pairing it with a recipe for homemade strawberry syrup.
Why do the strawberry motifs vary between pitchers?
Each pitcher is hand-painted by Italian ceramic artists without templates. The artisan paints the strawberries freely, so placement, size, and shades vary between pieces. This is a hallmark of authentic craftsmanship—not a flaw, but proof of handmade production.

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.
