Borosilicate Glass Pitcher

A glass pitcher for cold beverages, like lemonade, or a freshly brewed black tea with lemon. In the summer, the glass offers an unimpeded view on the ingredients of peppermint and fresh melissa tea. In the cold seasons, it serves hot wine punch. The pitcher sits happily on its broad base and is easy to handle when full.

Borosilicate glass was developed in 1891. Ernst Abbe and Otto Schott designed it having in mind a special glass for the optical and chemical industry. From the Jena glassworks, the glass with the unique product features promptly went on to conquer the world. In the nearby Bauhaus school of design in Weimar, Wilhelm Wagenfeld, Bruno Mauder, and Ilse Decho were fascinated with the idea of using laboratory glass in the kitchen and gave the new material a contemporary form.

Borosilicate glass is odorless and tasteless and can be used in the oven, microwave, on the stove, in the refrigerator and dishwasher. (Please follow the instructions for care and use provided by the manufacturer. You find them in an enclosed brochure).
