Using your hand - painted still life pitcher is easy. You can use it to hold water, juice, or even as a decorative vase for fresh flowers. When cleaning, it's best to use a mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive sponges as they might scratch the hand - painted surface. Also, don't put it in the microwave or dishwasher. For long - term storage, wrap it in soft cloth or bubble wrap to prevent any chips or cracks. And remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days.
