There's something quietly joyful about pouring water from a jug shaped like a turtle. The Animal Farm Turtle Pitcher in Multi, designed by Alessandra Baldereschi for Ichendorf, brings a note of storytelling to the table, from weekday suppers to homemade lemonade in the garden. For couples setting up home together, it's the sort of piece that earns a spot on the open shelf rather than the back of the cupboard, and it makes a memorable gift for anyone who likes a bit of character in their glassware.
