The Ichendorf Animal Farm round pitcher redefines simplicity through imagination. Created by Alessandra Baldereschi, it invites a touch of fantasy to every table setting. Within its curved, transparent silhouette, a delicate animal: a snail, a fish, or a squirrel; comes to life in glass, symbolising movement, patience and play. From Ichendorf's jugs and pitchers collection, it’s a design that unites nature and craftsmanship, merging the functionality of a pitcher with the storytelling of sculpture. Whether filled with fruit-infused water or flowers, it becomes a luminous centerpiece that speaks softly of Italian creativity.
Crafted with fire and precision
Each handmade glass pitcher is shaped through the meticulous art of lampworked borosilicate glass, ensuring clarity, strength and lightness. The technique, perfected over generations, gives the piece its distinctive purity and unique imperfections: proof of human touch. With a generous capacity of 2.4 liters, the jug blends beauty with practicality. Designed for alimentary use and dishwasher safe at low temperatures (40 °C/104 °F recommended), it fits gracefully into daily rituals while maintaining the refinement of collectible design. The round body amplifies the transparency of glass, allowing the inner figure to appear almost suspended in liquid light.
Design that invites a smile
Ichendorf’s designer snail motif jug captures her signature charm: a balance between whimsy and elegance. The snail resting within the glass seems to glide slowly through the transparent surface, turning every pour into a moment of quiet delight. Each animal version carries its own narrative: the fish symbolizes movement, the squirrel vitality. The result is a whimsical animal jug that harmonizes effortlessly with contemporary or classic interiors, adding personality to even the simplest dining moments.
Part of a playful glass menagerie
This collectible Ichendorf brocca belongs to the imaginative world of the Animal Farm collection and the Alessandra Baldereschi x Ichendorf collection. Designed to be paired with Ichendorf bottles, iconic tumblers and glasses and the designer goblet collection from the same series, it completes a cohesive narrative of transparency and craftsmanship. Together, the pieces form a living tableau, a transparent celebration of nature told through delicate details and timeless forms.
Light, humor and Italian soul
Every premium glass jug from Ichendorf carries a touch of magic. This animal inspired table jug is both an artwork and a functional object, representing the brand’s devotion to transforming ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences. Elegant, practical and full of character, the Ichendorf Animal Farm jug snail brings playful sophistication to the table: a poetic expression of Italian design’s joyful precision.
