What customers say
The Extra Large Gluggle Jug earns high praise for its unique charm and successful novelty function. Customers consistently highlight the robust build quality and beautiful glossy finish, validating the investment in authentic craftsmanship. The size is appreciated for both centerpiece display and daily water service. Its defining feature, the delightful and reliable glugging sound, adds whimsy to hydration. While achieving the loudest sound requires a slight learning curve, the jug is widely viewed as a functional piece of art that sparks conversation. Its exceptional quality and uniqueness outweigh minor concerns about weight or ceramic fragility, making it a memorable gift.
Know before you buy
The gurgling sound is produced by the air trapped in the fish's tail when the jug is poured. To ensure the best sound, fill the jug to about three-quarters capacity and pour at a steady, consistent angle.
No, the Original Gluggle Jug is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it with warm, soapy water to protect the ceramic finish and maintain its unique acoustic properties.
This jug is designed primarily for cold water or room-temperature beverages. It is not microwave safe, and extreme temperature changes may cause the ceramic to crack.
The jug does not have a traditional handle; instead, you grip the fish's tail, which acts as a natural handle. While it holds 44 ounces, the ergonomic design makes it comfortable to pour, though those with smaller hands may want to use two hands when the jug is completely full.
Absolutely. Because of its wide mouth and stable base, it functions beautifully as a decorative vase for large floral arrangements or as a unique utensil holder for your kitchen counter.
