Gluggle Jug with Sound | Fish Water Jug Matt Black | Gluckigluck

The Gluckigluck is a porcelain water jug shaped like a fish. It makes a gurgling sound as you pour. The name Gluckigluck — or Gluggle Jug, as it is also known — comes from that “Glug-Glug”. This version is matt black: the same shape, but without the shine of the standard glaze. The jug holds 1.2 litres — enough for four glasses.

Matt rather than glossy

Most Gluckigluck versions have a glossy glaze that reflects the light. The matt finish does the opposite: it absorbs the light, which makes the shape of the fish read more sharply and the colour more even. If you want the jug a little more understated than the glossy versions, this is the one.

The sound

As you pour, water runs along the hollow body of the fish, producing a deep, gurgling “Glug-Glug”. It sounds best when the jug is about three-quarters full. You hear it again when you set the jug down. It is a sound that never fails to draw attention at the table and surprises people every time. It puts a smile on their faces. Children love it too. Only the original makes the “Glug-Glug”.

Since the 1870s, made by hand

The design is more than a hundred and fifty years old and is still made by hand in Stoke-on-Trent, the pottery region of England. Every jug passes through six pairs of hands before it is finished and is fired twice at 1200 degrees. There is a stamp on the base by which you recognise the original.

Not only for water

The Gluckigluck is not only a water jug. Its distinctive shape makes it a focal point in a room, which means it works just as well as a vase, or as a holder for kitchen utensils beside the hob. On a table, on a sideboard or in the kitchen: it looks right anywhere and draws the eye everywhere.

Why only the XL

The Gluckigluck comes in three sizes: XL, L and Mini. We stock only the XL, because it is the only one that really works as a water jug. Despite the name, the L is considerably smaller — 22 cm high holding 0.6 litres — and its sound is less deep. The Mini is meant for cream or as a vase for a single flower. The size labels are confusing, and rather than have you end up with a jug that turns out too small, we offer just the one.
