" Tap Water Carafe " is a tribute to Dutch tap water and a statement in support of sustainability.
Did you know that Dutch tap water is top-quality and a whopping 2,000 times cheaper than bottled water? With our “ Tap Water Carafe ,” we want to encourage the use of tap water while also protecting the environment. No more plastic bottles, no more polluting transportation—just pure tap water in a beautifully crafted carafe.
Made of unglazed stoneware, this carafe has a remarkable feature: it cools water naturally. How does it work? by The pores in the clay filter a small portion of the water and evaporate it as soon as it comes into contact with the outside air. This centuries-old process, commonly used in the Middle East, provides natural cooling without consuming any energy.
Please note: This carafe will leak a small amount of water from the bottom, which is a normal part of the natural evaporation process. Place the carafe on a surface that can withstand water stains, or use a coaster.
- Handmade in small batches
- Cools water without a refrigerator
- Reduces the use of plastic bottles and polluting transportation

The handmade “ Tap Water Carafe ” is more than just a water carafe that adds a touch of elegance to your table. It’s a clever design that encourages the use of tap water and can chill water without needing a refrigerator. The shapes are inspired by the origins of Dutch tap water: the tall, long-necked bottle evokes water drawn from deep underground. The short, bulbous bottle is the ideal shape for collecting surface water. The third jug can be filled with water from the dunes. The carafe’s stopper reminds you where the water comes from: straight from the tap, of course!
The " Design " collection at Lotte de Raadt highlights the beauty of water and, in doing so, encourages a more mindful use of this precious natural resource. The " Tap Water Carafe " is perhaps her most self-explanatory design, inspired by this theme.
