Are glass or plastic pitchers better?
Glass pitchers are often the better choice when it comes to both presentation and practicality—especially for serving at the table. Unlike plastic, glass won’t scratch, stain, or hold on to odours, so it keeps looking fresh no matter what you pour. It’s also non-reactive, which means your drinks stay tasting exactly as they should, whether it’s iced water with lemon or a fruity sangria. While plastic may be lighter and less prone to breaking, glass brings a level of sophistication that plastic simply can’t match. Our collection focuses on durable, high-quality glass pitchers that are as functional as they are beautiful—designed to serve with style and stand the test of time.
What is the difference between a pitcher and a jug?
The difference is mostly in the name. In the UK, “jug” is the more common term, while “pitcher” tends to be used in American English. Both refer to a handled container used for pouring liquids, typically with a spout. Functionally, they’re the same thing. That said, pitchers can sometimes lean more decorative, especially in table settings, while jugs might evoke a more casual or kitchen-focused use. At Rinkit, we use both terms because our glassware covers all styles—from elegant fluted pitchers perfect for a garden lunch, to classic jugs made for everyday table service. Whether you call it a jug or a pitcher, the job it does is the same: making serving effortless and elegant.
