For someone with smaller hands, this one is both beautiful and functional for me to use for table water (or wine).
I love the carafe we got for our wedding from C&B (http://www.crateandbarrel.com/dining-and-entertaining/pitchers-and-decanters/vinny-carafe/s351842). We get lots of compliments on it during dinner parties. For some reason, I think it makes guests feel that you've really gone to some effort when you have a nice carafe of water on the table along with dinner, which is fantastic because it's such a simple "pre-dinner party tasks."
I have the Eva Solo and highly recommend it. I love to use it during dinner parties or brunches. It has a clever stopper pouring system.
Save a pretty wine bottle. Fill with water. Place on table. Voila! Free and very chic.
Even better if you can save a stoppered bottle like those used on prosecco and Grolsch beer bottles.
I need a light, kid-friendly one. A heavy carafe might as well say "Spill Me." Recommendations?
