The picture doesn't quite do the coloring justice. The bottom of the pitcher is much darker than the top, ranging from a deep brown/red to a beatifully vivid fire-engine red at the top. The size is just right for sangria for four or a dozen dahlias. As a pitcher, the handle is large and comfortable,and the spout is well-designed and prevents those irritating drips that happen with shorter spouts. As a vase, it'll win you a zillion compliments. My cats have managed to knock it over a couple times, even though it's quite heavy, and there's not a chip to be seen. (This says more about the determination of the cats than about the weight or balance of the pitcher.)

Let me start off and say that these pitchers are two-tone. You can't really see it in the picture amazon gives you, but my "Citrus" pitcher is actually a beautiful orange on the bottom, flowing into a vibrant yellow on top.

It is a large and somewhat heavy pitcher, but this is because it is constructed well. It pours very well, with only a little spillage when its very full or very empty. More than enough to keep a couple in water during a large meal.

Be careful with it however, I think that it probably can't take too much abuse. I had to have mine shipped to me three times before I actually got one that wasnt shattered in shipping. It is dishwasher safe, and I suspect that it isnt prone to chipping and cracking from the dishwasher, but my guess is if you "bonked" it on anything, you might break it.

This pitcher is great for sangria and for making iced tea from scratch. I feel very confident when I pour in the boiling water knowing that I do not have to worry about breakage.

Le Creuset has a good reputation,and no wonder.
I purchased the 2qt. White Pitcher because it stored hot and
cold beverages.With the Holiday's coming up,I realized I was short of pitchers.
The pitcher came well wrapped,and it was even more lovely
than the picture display.
It is sitting now on my Dining Room table filled with brown
dried Fall foliage,against a colorful autumn tablecloth.
Everyone who comes in the door,raves at the beauty of the object.Besides being useful,it makes an attactive centerpiece.
With it's simple pure lines it appeals to every every decor.
Modern,Country,Traditional etc.

I have been using a Creuset dutch oven for twenty-plus years and it is still like new. With this respect for the company products I was curious about their stoneware line. This pitcher was my introduction; I was not disappointed. This is a heavy piece of pottery and it makes the perfect alternative to the boring utensil crocks that the other companies offer. The color has the nice shine to it, just as the enameled pieces do. I have since gotten a pie plate and ramekins.

If you are familiar with the Creuset line, you will not be disappointed with this pitcher.

This pitcher looks great! It is very sturdy and heavy. (use both hands when holding!) Easy to clean, and easy on the eyes! I would definitely recommend this.

What a wonderful functional piece to own! This pitcher is versatile, elegant and ever so practical. The color options are great; the price is fair--if not low for what you get: elegance and functionality all in one!

I ordered one of these for my daughter, who loves the color blue. This pitcher is one of the most beautiful ones I've ever seen. The color is so bold. The pitcher is a perfect size. Not too big, not too small. My aunt saw it and made me order one for her also. Best of all it was a great price. Order one, you won't be sorry!!

This Le Creuset 2-Quart Pitcher will be a collector's item someday. It is reminiscent of fiestaware collectibles. I use mine along with my collection of Bauer bowls when I set up an informal picnic buffet. Because it is nonreactive, this pitcher is great for serving juices and sangria. I would love to have it in every color!

I seem to be the only one that really doesn't like this pitcher. Sure it's pretty, but when filled with liquid it is awkward to hold and is fairly heavy. Another thing that bugs me about this pitcher is that I always spill when pouring from it, I don't do this with my other pitcher so I can only guess it is the mouth shape of this one or maybe I just pick this pitcher up and my mind tells my hand: SPILL LIQUID NOW, could very well be the latter. So... I use it for flowers.
