I have been wanting this pitcher for quite a while and finally bought one when it went on sale. I love the look and feel of it and can't wait to use it over the holidays. It also matches my Iittala glasses which is a definite plus. Wish it came in the same colors that the glasses come in but the clear is beautiful too!
