The Sogni d’Oriente Jug, designed by Alessandra Baldereschi for Ichendorf , carries with it a sense of faraway lands and timeless rituals. Its very name, “Dreams of the Orient”, evokes the fascination of cultures where objects are not just functional but symbolic. Handmade in borosilicate glass, the jug blends the purity of Italian craftsmanship with an unmistakable oriental flair. Enjoyable with other products from the bottles and jugs and tableware collections.

Colors as narrative

Available in striking shades of green and blue, the jug uses color as a language. The green version brings freshness and vibrancy, echoing gardens at dusk or the deep tones of ceramic glazes. The blue version evokes calm and depth, reminiscent of twilight skies or serene ocean reflections, turning every drink into a moment of contemplation. It transforms ordinary water into something luminous, wine into a jewel-toned spectacle, juice into a celebration of color. Baldereschi’s mastery lies in creating not just a vessel but an atmosphere.

Craft that honors tradition

From the Sogni d'Oriente collection, each jug is mouth-blown by artisans who preserve the delicate precision of borosilicate glassmaking. This material, chosen for its durability and clarity, ensures that the jug remains practical while feeling almost weightless in the hand. Its form, simple and slightly curved, recalls traditional pitchers, yet feels unmistakably modern, a bridge between heritage and innovation.

Pairings and occasions

The jug finds harmony alongside the Ichendorf Botanica collection, Ichendorf footed plates, and Ichendorf cups and mugs. It can anchor a casual breakfast table or elevate an evening dinner, its green or blue glass casting subtle reflections that change with the light. It is both everyday object and collectible, both utilitarian pitcher and statement piece.

A dream materialized

Alessandra Baldereschi’s Sogni d’Oriente Jug embodies Ichendorf’s ethos: design that respects tradition while speaking a universal contemporary language. It is not only about pouring a drink, but about evoking memories and places, about holding in your hands the dream of another world.
