Glass Pitchers
A glass pitcher is a versatile serving vessel suitable for water, juice and other cold drinks.
Pitchers can be particularly useful when entertaining because they allow several drinks to be served from a single vessel while keeping the dining table tidy and coordinated.
Larger pitchers are ideal for shared dining, while smaller jugs can work well for individual service.
Our Carafes & Pitchers collection includes clear glass designs in a variety of sizes.
Glass Water Jugs

A 1-litre carafe or jug offers a versatile capacity for everyday serving.
Our collection includes several options around this size, including:
One-litre designs provide plenty of capacity for water and other drinks while remaining comfortable to handle and pour.
Small Glass Carafes
Smaller glass carafes are useful when serving individual portions or smaller quantities.
The Bormioli Rocco Misura Glass Carafe – 0.6L provides a compact 600ml capacity.
The Cascade Jug – 0.5L offers an even smaller 500ml option.
A Contemporary Glass Carafe – 500ml is also available for customers looking for a modern design in a compact format.
Smaller carafes can work particularly well for breakfast service, individual tables and restaurant environments.
Large Glass Jugs

For wine-focused serving pieces, you can also explore our Wine Decanters alongside our wider carafe collection.
Wine Carafes
A wine carafe provides a straightforward way to present wine at the table.
Unlike more specialist wine decanters, carafes are often designed primarily around serving and presentation.
The Bormioli Rocco Misura Glass Carafe – 0.6L is useful for smaller wine servings, while the larger Bormioli Rocco Misura Glass Carafe – 1.1L provides additional capacity.
Pair your carafe with our wine glasses to create a complete wine-serving setup.
Carafes vs Decanters
Carafes and decanters may look similar, but they are typically used for slightly different purposes.
A carafe is generally intended for serving water, juice, wine and other drinks in a simple, convenient format.
A decanter is often designed specifically for wine or spirits and may have a shape intended to support aeration or presentation.
If you're looking specifically for red wine or spirit decanters, browse our Decanters collection.
If you need something versatile for everyday table service, our Carafes & Pitchers collection is the better place to start.
Recycled Glass Carafes
For customers interested in recycled glassware, the Authentico Recycled Glass Carafe – 800ml provides a distinctive option.
Its 800ml capacity makes it useful for serving water, juice and other drinks while the recycled glass construction gives the piece additional character.
Explore our wider Eco Glassware collection for coordinating recycled tumblers, highballs and other glassware.
Carafes for Water
A carafe is one of the simplest ways to improve the presentation of water at the dining table.
Instead of leaving commercial packaging on display, water can be transferred into a clear glass carafe before serving.
This works particularly well for:
- Family meals
- Dinner parties
- Breakfast tables
- Restaurants
- Hotels
- Cafés
- Meetings
- Events
Pair your water carafe with our tumblers or highball glasses for a coordinated table setup.
Carafes for Juice
Glass carafes are also useful for serving juice at breakfast, brunch and other meals.
Smaller designs such as the Cascade Jug – 0.5L and Bormioli Rocco Misura Glass Carafe – 0.6L can be particularly suitable for this purpose.
Larger carafes are useful when serving several people.
Clear glass also allows the colour of fruit juices and other drinks to become part of the table presentation.
Carafes for Dinner Parties
A glass carafe can add a more considered touch to a dinner table.
Water, juice and wine can be transferred into separate serving vessels rather than placing bottles or packaging directly on the table.
For water, consider the Krosno Glass Water Jug – 1.5Ltr.
For wine or smaller servings, the Bormioli Rocco Misura Glass Carafe – 0.6L offers a compact alternative.
Pair your carafes with our wine glasses and tumblers for a coordinated dinner-table setup.
Carafes for Breakfast & Brunch
Carafes and small pitchers are particularly useful at breakfast and brunch.
Use them for:
- Orange juice
- Apple juice
- Water
- Milk
- Infused water
- Other cold drinks
A smaller carafe can prevent the table from becoming crowded while still providing enough capacity for several servings.
The Bormioli Rocco Misura Glass Carafe – 0.6L is well suited to smaller breakfast servings.
Glass Jugs for Entertaining
When entertaining guests, a glass jug allows drinks to be served easily without repeated trips to the kitchen.
Larger designs such as the Krosno Glass Water Jug – 1.5Ltr are ideal for shared tables.
For something with more decorative character, consider the Timeless Vintage Glass Jug – 1.4L.
Serving drinks from attractive glassware can help make even informal gatherings feel more considered.
Carafes for Restaurants & Hospitality
Carafes and pitchers are also important pieces of hospitality glassware.
Restaurants, cafés, hotels and event venues can use them for:
- Table water
- Wine service
- Juice
- Breakfast drinks
- Meeting-room water
- Buffet service
Smaller carafes can be useful for individual tables, while larger jugs work well for shared service.
If you're purchasing carafes or pitchers in larger quantities, contact Glassware UK to discuss your requirements.
Carafes for Restaurants
A restaurant carafe needs to balance presentation with practicality.
The Bormioli Rocco Misura Glass Carafe – 0.6L provides a useful compact option for table service.
For larger tables, the Bormioli Rocco Ypsilon Carafe – 1.08Ltr offers additional capacity.
Using matching carafes across tables can help create a consistent drinks presentation throughout a venue.
Water Jugs for Hotels & Events
Hotels and event venues often require larger serving vessels for water and cold drinks.
A generous water jug can be placed at dining tables, conference tables or buffet areas for guests to serve themselves.
The Krosno Glass Water Jug – 1.5Ltr is particularly suited to larger shared servings.
For formal events, a traditional design such as the Heritage Claret Jug – 0.8L can provide a more decorative presentation.
Handmade Glass Jugs

The Krosno Handmade Ice Lip Water Jug – 1Ltr is a distinctive example from the Krosno collection.
Its handmade construction and practical one-litre capacity make it suitable for both everyday use and entertaining.
Explore our Krosno glassware for additional handmade drinkware and serving pieces.
Vintage Glass Jugs
For customers looking for something more decorative, vintage-inspired glass jugs can provide additional character.
The Timeless Vintage Glass Jug – 1.4L combines a generous capacity with traditional styling.
This type of jug can work particularly well in classic dining rooms, restaurants, pubs and vintage-inspired interiors.
It can also make a distinctive table centrepiece when filled with water, juice or another suitable drink.
Contemporary Glass Carafes
If your interior is more modern, choose a simple contemporary glass carafe.
The Contemporary Glass Carafe – 500ml provides a compact option for modern table settings.
Clear glass and simple shapes can work particularly well in minimalist kitchens, restaurants and dining spaces.
For a larger contemporary design, consider the Bormioli Rocco Ypsilon Carafe – 1.08Ltr.
How to Choose a Carafe or Pitcher
When selecting a carafe, jug or pitcher, consider how you intend to use it.
Capacity
Smaller 500–600ml carafes are useful for individual servings and compact tables.
Around 1 litre is a versatile everyday size.
Larger 1.4–1.5 litre jugs are better suited to families, larger tables and entertaining.
Shape
Straight and tapered designs provide a contemporary appearance, while vintage and claret-style jugs offer something more decorative.
Drink
Think about whether the vessel will primarily be used for water, juice, wine or general serving.
Handle
Pitchers and jugs with handles can be convenient for larger capacities, while handle-free carafes provide a cleaner silhouette.
Setting
Choose simple designs for everyday dining or more decorative pieces for dinner parties and special occasions.
Carafes & Pitchers as Gifts
A quality glass carafe or pitcher can make a practical gift for anyone who enjoys entertaining.
They are particularly suitable for:
- Housewarming gifts
- Wedding gifts
- New-home gifts
- Anniversary gifts
- Christmas presents
- Gifts for wine lovers
- Gifts for keen hosts
The Heritage Claret Jug – 0.8L can make a distinctive traditional gift, while a Bormioli Rocco carafe provides a practical contemporary alternative.
Pair Carafes with Drinking Glasses
Carafes work best as part of a complete drinks-serving setup.
Pair a water carafe with tumblers or highball glasses.
For wine service, combine a carafe with our wine glasses.
