The Ichendorf Vegetables jug brings a surprising, almost storybook quality to the table. Conceived by Alessandra Baldereschi, it transforms everyday chili pepper, artichoke or tomato shapes into elegant and transparent sculptures. Its presence is both functional and decorative, turning water or juice service into a playful, visually engaging gesture. When paired with pieces from the Ichendorf collection, this jug adds a lively vertical rhythm to the table, enhancing the overall composition.

A gesture of craftsmanship shaped in glass

Entirely handmade and flame-worked in borosilicate glass, the Vegetables jug showcases the refined skill behind the collection. The flame-working process shapes its curves with precision, creating gentle variations in thickness that catch and refract light. Although its form is inspired by vegetables, its clarity and smooth lines give it a contemporary feel. Borosilicate glass ensures that the jug, despite its delicate appearance, is durable, lightweight and dishwasher safe at low temperatures, like all Ichendorf Jugs. This balance between artistry and practicality makes it suitable for everyday dining as well as more curated table settings.

A playful reinterpretation of vegetable forms

Each version of the jug carries a unique personality: the chili pepper variant feels elongated and expressive, the artichoke interpretation introduces rounded, layered textures, while the tomato version brings a cheerful sense of fullness. These colourful nods to nature capture the essence of Alessandra Baldereschi's design language, where everyday shapes are elevated into decorative, poetic objects. The transparency of the jug allows the silhouette to stand out without overwhelming the table, making it a charming companion for casual meals or festive gatherings.

The playful character of this Ichendorf jug does not compromise its versatility. Whether used for fresh water, homemade teas, fruit juices or even as a decorative vase for a single stem, it adapts easily to different roles. Its handle, body and spout are shaped to ensure comfortable pouring, while the clarity of the borosilicate glass enhances the colour of the liquids it contains. When placed alongside complementary pieces, like Ichendorf Tumblers, bowls or Ichendorf Footed Plates, the jug helps create a table landscape that feels cohesive and inviting.

A decorative accent with everyday usefulness

The handmade nature of the Vegetables jug gives each piece a subtle individuality, making it not only a serving item but also a small collectible. Its sculptural silhouette stands out on a shelf or countertop, while its practicality makes it a trusted object for daily use. This combination of charm and functionality reflects the spirit of Ichendorf Baldereschi glass jug design, where craftsmanship and imagination merge to create objects that accompany life’s simple rituals with grace.
