English Ceramic Fish Gluggle Jug

In the world of design, there's form, there's function...and then there's fun! This classic Ceramic Gluggle Jug possesses all three in spades!

Coming to us from the still-active Staffordshire kilns of Stoke-on-Trent potter Wade Ceramics, this whimsical fish pitcher silhouette has charmed and amused generations since it was first produced in the 1860s. Shaped like an open-mouthed fish, the jug has also been known as a "Glug Glug" and "Gurgle Jug" and originally had the tagline “a novelty which always attracts attention”. When liquid is poured at 3/4 full, it produces a gurgling sound, the result of an air-lock created in the hollow fishtail which then bubbles out.

The iconic Gluggle Jug makes a lively centerpiece for any occasion, as well as a versatile pitcher for water or cocktails or an impromputu vase. Still increasing in popularity, its status as an icon was reinforced in the late 1950s when a special pair of Gluggle jugs were produced for presentation to Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip on a visit to Dartmouth's Naval College.

Richly glazed in either vintage pink, deep cobalt blue or vibrant orange, these delightful jugs will be a storied addition to your home, sure to attract attention whether it is in use or on display.
