Bormioli Rocco Kufra Pitcher with Ice Container Prepare, store and serve your strawberry coolers in this 72 oz. glass pitcher. Fill the center portion of the pitcher with lots of ice and keep flavorful teas and fresh fruit drinks icy cold. As the ice gradually melts in its own container, it won't dilute the flavor of your beverage. The pitcher also comes with a plastic lift-off lid and a handy stirrer that fits through a tiny opening in the lid. The center cylinder is removable.
