Know before you buy
The jug produces its iconic 'gluggling' sound when it is filled to approximately three-quarters of its capacity. As you pour, the air trapped in the fish-shaped tail creates the sound.
The Mini Gluggle Jug is designed for smaller servings, making it ideal for individual use, as a creamer, or as a small decorative vase. It is significantly smaller than the standard-sized jugs.
Yes, the Gluggle Jug is made from durable ceramic and is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended to maintain the finish and vibrancy of the glaze over time.
While the jug is primarily designed for serving water or cold beverages, its ceramic construction is heat-resistant. It can safely hold warm liquids, though it is not intended for use on a stovetop or in a microwave.
The mouth is specifically designed to function as a spout. While it has a unique shape, it provides a controlled pour, provided you do not tilt the jug too aggressively.
