What are drink pitchers?

Drink pitchers are containers with spouts and a handle used to pour liquid. Outside North America, pitchers are usually referred to as jugs or table jugs. Drink pitchers—not to be confused with baseball pitchers—are great for a round of brews while you watch the game. Adding a painted ceramic drink pitcher to your morning routine raises the sophistication of your breakfast cereal and juice. Drink pitchers make it easy to share rounds of your favorite lemonade or cocktail with friends.

The typical drink pitcher holds 60 ounces of liquid and is made out of plastic, ceramic, glass, or metal: Plastic pitchers: These are often used at sports bars, or anywhere the pitchers may be frequently dropped and moved. Most don’t have lids, but lidded options are perfect for children who like to serve themselves a glass of homemade juice from the fridge. Ceramic pitchers: Choose from a range of sizes and unique shapes, including cows for serving milk or peaches for juice. Vintage pitchers are often beautifully decorated with hand-painted designs and etchings, giving them an antique quality of having been passed down through generations. Glass pitchers: See the liquid inside glass pitchers and fill them with brightly colored beverages like sangria or fruit punch. Metal pitchers: Keep liquids cold or warm for an extended period in pitchers made from aluminum or copper. For hot days, when the sun just won’t let up, bring a metal pitcher of water or sweet tea outside to get some relief under the shade.

Uses for copper cup sets

Copper cup sets take advantage of copper’s thermal ability to keep drinks hot or cold. A copper mug is a staple drinkware for the Moscow mule cocktail because it preserves crushed ice that would otherwise melt and water down the drink. Copper cups have an industrial aesthetic and also keep your hands toasty while sipping apple cider.

Uses for vintage drinking glass sets

Vintage pitcher and glass sets are typically reserved for those truly special occasions. An elegant set of crystal glasses adds a punctuation mark to whatever achievement you may be celebrating. Choose a pair of customized champagne glasses for a personal wedding toast or some intricately etched whiskey glasses worthy of dusting off the good stuff. Using vintage drinking glasses in photoshoots is an easy but effective way to elevate your product’s appeal. Place a vintage glass on top of a rustic book as the perfect backdrop for watches or a chic bottle of eau de cologne. Browse shops on Etsy for a wide selection of decorated pint glasses , suave whisky glasses, and many customizable options to get that shot just right.
