Due to the low expansion coefficient, high softening point and good thermal shock resistance of the high borosilicate, this pitcher can withstand rapid temperature changes from 0°F to 300°F, so it is suitable to boil water and tea on an open flame, also it can be placed in fridge.

The brittleness and weight of the borosilicate glass are at a much lower level than those of ordinary glass. Therefore, the pitcher looks much thinner than that made of ordinary glass, however, it is light and durable.
