The Jug That's Gurgling with Charm

The Wade Ceramics Gluggle Jug is a charming little pitcher that has been making people smile for over 150 years. It's a simple design, really: a fish-shaped pitcher with a hole in its head. However, when you fill it to three quarters with liquid, something magical happens. As you pour, the liquid gurgles and bubbles through the hole, making a sound that's both delightful and mysterious. It’s the perfect way to start a conversation or scare the neighbors.

The history of the gluggle jug goes back to the 1860s, when it was first made by Wade Pottery in Stoke-on-Trent, England. The jug was originally designed as a children's toy, but understandably it quickly became popular with adults as well.

The popularity of the gluggle jug in Massachusetts is likely due to the fact that Wade Pottery had a factory in Fall River, Massachusetts, from 1900 to 1969. The factory was known for producing high-quality ceramics, and the gluggle jug was one of their most popular products.

The meaning and purpose of the gluggle jug is simple: to bring joy. It’s a reminder that even the simplest things can be beautiful...and noisy. The sound of the gurgling water is just plain fun, and it's a great way to liven up a meal or a party. Check out our demo video.

Finally, the gluggle jug is made of ceramic, which is a durable and easy-to-care-for material. This makes it a versatile and long-lasting piece of pottery that can be enjoyed for many years to come.
