In the Ichendorf Animal Farm pitcher, designed by Alessandra Baldereschi, everyday functionality becomes a story of craftsmanship and imagination. Within its transparent body, tiny glass animals: a hedgehog, a turtle, a rabbit, or a duck; seem to come to life, turning a simple jug into a celebration of whimsy and artistry. From Ichendorf's jugs and pitchers collection, it’s a design that brings warmth to every table, where transparency becomes a stage for nature’s charm. Each pour feels like an encounter with the poetic spirit of Ichendorf, blending playfulness with timeless refinement.
Where craftsmanship meets creativity
Each handmade designer pitcher from the Animal Farm collection is shaped with care using lampworked borosilicate glass, a material prized for its clarity, resistance, and delicate weight. The artisan’s flame transforms raw glass into a sculpted story, where no two pieces are ever identical. With a capacity of 1.7 liters, it’s ideal for serving water, juice, or flowers as a centerpiece. Created for alimentary use and dishwasher safe at low temperatures (40 °C/104 °F recommended), it maintains its luminous quality through daily use. The result is both practical and expressive, a piece that embodies the beauty of Italian craftsmanship.
Nature interpreted in design
Ichendorf’s whimsical animal jug expresses her love for storytelling through form. The hedgehog motif evokes forest serenity, the rabbit lightness and curiosity, while the turtle suggests calm and longevity. These delicate figures seem to inhabit the water itself, captured within a world of glass and light. It’s not just an object but a small universe of imagination, designed to spark conversation and joy. This hedgehog motif table jug finds balance between humor and elegance, carrying its own quiet sophistication to any dining setting.
Connected through glass
This collectible glass brocca forms part of the Alessandra Baldereschi x Ichendorf collection, seamlessly integrating with their iconic tumblers and glasses, footed plates, and stemmed drinkware from the same design family. Together, these creations weave a coherent narrative: one where craftsmanship and storytelling coexist. The designer Ichendorf jug completes the series with its rounded profile and cheerful animal presence, offering both aesthetic harmony and practical function.
Italian artistry, pure imagination
More than a vessel, this premium forest glassware is a symbol of joyful design and emotional connection. Its clean lines and sculpted details exemplify Ichendorf’s mastery in transforming humble glass into a canvas for wonder. The Ichendorf Animal Farm jug hedgehog reflects the brand’s ability to merge simplicity, storytelling, and refinement: a piece that feels alive with character and crafted to bring light to any space.
