Know before you buy
The iconic gurgling sound is created by the design of the fish's mouth and tail. As you pour, air is trapped and then released through the liquid, resulting in the characteristic 'glug' sound.
Yes. The jug is crafted from lead-free, fully vitrified ceramic, making it completely food-safe for serving water, juice, or other beverages.
Absolutely. Because the ceramic is fully vitrified and waterproof, it functions perfectly as a decorative vase for fresh flowers when you aren't using it for drinks.
This 11-inch model has a capacity of 44 ounces, which is roughly equivalent to 5.5 cups of liquid.
The jug weighs just under 3 lbs on its own. When filled to its 44-ounce capacity, it will have some heft, but the ergonomic handle is designed to provide a steady grip while pouring.
Every Gluggle Jug is handcrafted in Staffordshire, England, using the original molds that have been in use for nearly 150 years.
