Italian Styled Water Pitcher

When I was a kid, our family used to frequent an Italian restaurant in San Francisco’s North Beach district. This was one of my favorite outings. The tableware was strictly Italian, as was the food and service. I’m not sure why, but the large, hand painted Italian styled water pitcher fascinated me. I couldn’t wait for the waiter to bring it and set it down next to the bread, always generally in the middle of the table. Perhaps it was the swirly floral designs with vines spiraling around the pitcher’s handle. Each water pitcher had a different design, always brightly colored. The container made me want to drink water!
