Yes, the black terracotta clay is the base material, which is then finished with a white porcelain glaze. You may notice the dark clay peeking through the glaze, particularly around the edges or handle, adding to the piece's organic, rustic character.

We recommend hand washing this piece with mild soap and warm water to preserve the integrity of the glaze. Avoid using harsh abrasives or putting it in the dishwasher, as the delicate, handmade nature of the terracotta and glaze requires gentle handling.

While the pitcher is functional, it is primarily designed for serving cold beverages like water, iced tea, or wine. We do not recommend using it for boiling hot liquids, as the thermal shock could potentially affect the terracotta or the glaze finish.

The Adelaide pitcher has a solid, substantial feel, measuring 7.25 inches in height and 8.5 inches in length. It is designed to be a functional centerpiece, offering enough weight to feel stable on the table while maintaining an elegant, refined silhouette.
