Georg Jensen Henning Koppel Stainless Steel Water Pitcher, 25oz

What is the Georg Jensen Koppel Pitcher best used for?

The 0.75 L pitcher is designed primarily for water and other cold beverages. Its approximately 25.4 oz capacity works particularly well for everyday meals, brunch, intimate dinners, bedside water service, cocktail-hour tables, and smaller gatherings where a full-size serving pitcher would be unnecessary.

What makes the Koppel Pitcher such an important Georg Jensen design?

Henning Koppel was one of Georg Jensen’s defining modernist designers. Trained as a sculptor, he combined functionalism with organic, lifelike shapes and sought to make useful everyday objects beautiful as well as practical. The Koppel pitcher became one of the house’s signature forms and remains closely associated with Danish mid-century design.

Is the 0.75 L size practical for everyday use?

Yes. This edition was specifically created as a smaller version of the larger Koppel pitcher. At 9.76" high and 0.75 L, it has enough capacity for table service while remaining easy to handle and appropriately scaled for two-person meals, smaller households, brunches, or intimate entertaining.

Is the Koppel Pitcher a good wedding, anniversary, or housewarming gift?

Yes. Its combination of useful serving function and established Georg Jensen design makes it particularly well suited to weddings, anniversaries, housewarmings, and new-home celebrations. Names, initials, a family name, wedding date, anniversary date, or short message can turn the pitcher into a keepsake that remains useful long after the occasion.

Does this work for corporate or professional gifting?

Very well. The Koppel pitcher is especially appropriate for executive gifts, retirement presentations, client appreciation, company anniversaries, real-estate closing gifts, and professional recognition. Its recognizable design heritage gives it more permanence than conventional promotional gifts, while engraving can connect it directly to the recipient or milestone.

How should the mirror-polished stainless steel be cared for?

Hand wash the pitcher rather than placing it in the dishwasher, then dry it with a soft cloth to help preserve the reflective finish. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh cleaners that could scratch the polished surface. Care guidance for this exact SKU specifies hand washing, and retailers identify the pitcher as not dishwasher safe.
