Ceramic Pitchers

Brocca in Ceramica

  • Brocche_in_Ceramica

  • Our ceramic pitchers are handcrafted and hand-painted in various styles and colors. From the minimalist design with a white glaze and fine engravings that enhance the natural terracotta color, to freehand brushstrokes of vibrant glazes, and even the combination of both techniques that create textured, colorful relief effects. Common motifs include coral patterns inspired by Sardinia’s western coast, floral decorations, and the traditional Sardinian hen, a symbol of rebirth and good fortune. The glazes used in the production and decoration process are food-safe and dishwasher-friendly. The current shapes of our ceramic pitchers, as well as the scivedda (a large bowl traditionally used in Sardinian kitchens for kneading and breadmaking), vases, and amphorae, trace their origins back to Sardinia’s rich ceramic heritage, when such vessels were still used in rural areas to collect water from local springs up until the mid-20th century.

What’s the difference between a pitcher and a carafe?

  • Che differenza c'è tra brocca e caraffa?

    A pitcher and a carafe are both vessels used to hold and pour liquids, but they differ in form, use, and tradition. A pitcher is typically rounder, with a handle and a well-defined spout. It’s often made of ceramic, terracotta, or thick glass, evoking a rustic, artisanal aesthetic tied to traditional home and country dining. A carafe, on the other hand, has a more slender, modern shape. It may lack a handle, features a subtler spout, and is usually made of clear glass. It’s designed for a contemporary use, often associated with restaurant tables or informal settings where water, juice, or iced tea are served. Though the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably, their form and function suggest distinct nuances that can be chosen depending on the desired look or context.

  • Handcrafted Ceramic Pitcher

    In recent years, ceramic pitchers have made a comeback — you’ve probably noticed them on restaurant tables or featured in home décor magazines. Once again in vogue, these timeless pieces were, before the invention of plastic and the economic boom of the 1960s, among the most practical solutions for storing liquids. More durable than glass, they were produced in countless shapes and sizes for everyday use: perfect for cooking, transporting goods, and trading oil or wine. If you’re looking to make your kitchen more environmentally sustainable, take a look at our handcrafted ceramic pitchers.

The current shapes of the ceramic pitcher are derived from traditional Sardinian ceramics, such as the scivedda (a large container, essential in Sardinian kitchens, used for various dough techniques and baking), vases, and large amphorae that were
still used in Sardinian rural areas until the mid-20th century to collect water from the source.

Let yourself be inspired by Sardinian craftsmanship to refresh your home: from ceramic plates and glasses for your table, to spoon rests and soap sets for the
kitchen, and ceramic vases and lamps to decorate the dining room.
