Why I Chose This Piece
The moment I saw this pitcher, it reminded me of something you’d find in a romantic English cottage — overflowing with garden roses or perched on a dresser. I especially love the way the floral design wraps around the body, and the swooping handle is just so sculptural and elegant. It’s the kind of piece that makes a home feel cozy, collected, and filled with stories.
