Glass Pitchers

Choosing a pitcher

Everyday: Paşabahçe pitchers with lids

Both Paşabahçe pitchers come with lids, which keep fridge smells out of chilled water and stop dust settling on the table. The Space holds 1650 cc and the Bistro 1800 cc (1.8 L), about six to seven 250 ml glasses, enough for a family dinner.

For guests: ACAR Zemzem serving sets

Zemzem sets take their name from Zamzam water, which pilgrims bring home from Mecca and offer to visitors in a dedicated serving set. Many families also use them for water at iftar or a dinner party. ACAR's come in Model 1 and Model 3, in plain, silver-tone and gold-trimmed gold-tone versions. Check each product page for exactly what's included.

What to pour

• Water with meals, with sliced lemon or mint.
• Ayran, the salted yogurt drink served with kebab and pide.
• Lemonade or şerbet for summer gatherings and Ramadan evenings.

Pair it with glasses

Match your pitcher with water glasses and tumblers from Paşabahçe and LAV; the Paşabahçe Gourmet Ayran glass with handle (350 cc) is made for ayran. For a full drinks table, carry everything on a tray from our tray collection, and see the rest of our serveware.

Which size do you need?

For two to four people, one 1650 cc or 1800 cc pitcher covers a meal. For a dinner party or iftar table, plan one pitcher per four to six guests, or keep a second one chilled in the fridge so you can swap them as they empty. Lidded pitchers also fit neatly on a fridge shelf for cold water or homemade ayran.

Care

Let hot drinks cool before pouring them into glass, and avoid moving a pitcher straight from the fridge to hot water. Washing instructions for the glass and lids are on each product page. To keep glass clear, rinse after milk or ayran rather than letting it dry inside.
