Tua Water Pitcher

There's good reason why this streamlined pitcher calls to mind a contemporary building soaring into the sky. Architect Mario Botta's body of international work--including SFMoMA, Tel Aviv's Cymbalista Synagogue and Jewish Heritage Center, and the Évry Cathedral south of Paris--is celebrated for its strong geometry and towering effect. The 1-liter "Tua" (translation: Yours) pitcher, in fact, reminds us of the Tschuggen Bergoase Spa he recently completed in his native Switzerland. The Tua is formed of mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel with a comfortable, black polyamide handle. Hand wash only.
