Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when this article was pitched.

for summer classic, Sangria, ideal to have a pitcher with a pinched spout for poring Sangria, not all the fruit, into the glasses.

I use the unbreakable IKEA ones that have a center piece that you can freeze. Works great.

I love that the Times can make even the purchase of a simple pitcher something to stress about. Martha Stewart would be proud.

I honestly thought this article was a parody. Are Times readers so inept they can't choose a pitcher without help?

Surprised that Simon Pearce's Woodbury pitcher is not
mentioned. It is beautiful empty, filled with flowers, or with
lemonade!

I have several glass pitchers, including a Depression Glass green, 40 oz; a stunning red glass upright with white swirls made in Italy, 24 oz. I found both at yard sales for less then $30 each. I love “found” art objects as do our guests. Form and function; indoor and outdoor!

Odd. The article points out how useful a pitcher is for dining outdoors. But only one of the suggested pitchers is made of a non-breakable substance.

I found the Ridge Kitchen Pitcher (clear) the most visually appealing but it looked as if it would be difficult to lift when full. Then I discovered that it only holds 24 OZ. That's two 12 oz. or three 8 oz. glasses sans ice. Way too small for serving "drinks" in my opinion.

The blue pitcher and glasses made of hand blown glass are lovely, but they look like made of plastic. I would look for a tall pitcher, made of heavy glass, polygonal in cross-section, with matching glasses, a lid, and a long elegant spoon for stirring the liquid.

Weight of the pitcher is also a factor in choosing. I have a number of antique glass pitchers which I use frequently. However, one of my favorites is large, antique 'flint' glass & wide-mouthed -- excellent in all ways, except, it's too heavy! Even empty it has some heft, and filled with ice and sangria or tea, it becomes dangerously difficult ot maneuver. So it stays on the shelf in favor of a smaller one.
