The glug jug has been around for well over a century, originally developed in Staffordshire in the late 1800s. The design is simple but clever, the shape of the fish traps air as you pour, creating the distinctive glugging sound that gives the jug its name.
Gurgly’s versions keep that original idea but bring it into a more contemporary setting, with a range of colours and finishes that give the jugs real presence. They are solid, well made pieces that work just as well for serving water or wine as they do for holding flowers or standing on their own.
They’re the kind of object that tends to get noticed. Not overdesigned, just something a bit different that adds character to a table or shelf without trying too hard.
At Hortus, we stock Gurgly for that balance of usefulness and personality. They work as everyday pieces, but also as something a bit more decorative, and make particularly good gifts for that reason.
