Know before you buy
The sound is created by the air trapped in the fish's tail when the jug is tilted. To ensure the best effect, fill the jug to just below the rim of the mouth and pour with a steady, consistent motion.
No, the Gluggle Jug is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it with warm, soapy water to preserve the ceramic finish and structural integrity.
While the ceramic can hold warm liquids, the jug is not insulated and is not microwave safe. It is primarily designed for serving cold beverages like water, juice, or wine.
No, the Gluggle Jug does not include a lid. Its design features an open, fish-shaped mouth, which is intended for easy pouring rather than long-term temperature retention.
The matte sand finish is durable, but like all porous ceramic materials, it can be susceptible to staining if dark liquids are left inside for extended periods. It is best to rinse the jug after use.
