La brocca

I’ve been eyeing this pitcher for weeks and finally pulled the trigger—the dark brown clay body gives it such a grounded, earthy weight, and the white glaze on top makes it look almost sculptural on my counter. It pours cleanly without dripping, which is more than I can say for my last carafe.

The white glaze over the dark brown clay gives it this subtle, two-tone depth that looks even better in person than in the photos. It pours cleanly and feels balanced in the hand, though I do wish it came in a slightly larger size.

The dark brown clay peeking through the white glaze gives it this earthy, handmade character that photographs beautifully. I use it for serving water at dinner and it feels substantial yet balanced in hand.
