Since 1834, the finest European brands have commissioned Nachtmann artisans to create exclusive lead crystal collections. In factories nestled into the tiny hamlets of Bavaria, these skilled artisans drew on a rich tradition of glassmaking as well as new innovations to craft their superior pieces. Now available to home collectors, Nachtmann brings sparkle to the dining table or bar with the same renowned craftsmanship and precision-cut designs on 24 percent lead crystal.
The handsome Loft pattern is particularly dramatic on this urn-shaped jug/pitcher. A ring of tall rectangles circles the lower portion of the body, continuing over the base for a unified, tailored effect. Above, the contoured upper rim and thick, swooping handle catch the light and provide a delightfully curvaceous counterpoint. Holding a generous 35-1/4 ounces, this versatile jug/pitcher is perfect for a myriad of everyday uses. It also compliments the full Loft crystal line. Every piece is individually made and hand-inspected in Nachtmann's small factories in Bavaria. --Kara Karll
