Pitcher holds 1 litre (maybe a bit more) and is 8 inches tall.

**The handle of this pitcher was broken off prior to firing. After firing it was re-attached using automotive strength epoxy. It is probably stronger than it was before. Aesthetically, the break does not affect the piece. Usability, with normal use and care there should not be any issues. I would hand wash the piece... unless you're clumsy... then I'd have someone else do it...

All of the pieces are signed by me, Sheila, and numbered, this is the order in which they were painted... their "born on" date... it is not a 1 of xxx series. Everything is a One of A Kind (OOAK) piece.
