A charming vintage Gluggle Jug by Foster’s Pottery, crafted in brown ceramic with a mottled cream glaze. Shaped as a whimsical fish, the jug produces its distinctive "glug glug" sound when liquid is poured and also works wonderfully as a decorative vase or display piece.
The original Gluggle Jug was first produced in Staffordshire, England, in the late 1870s, with the design attributed to Thomas Forester & Sons before later being popularised by Dartmouth Pottery and, subsequently, Wade Ceramics. Today, it remains one of Britain's most enduring and collectible ceramic designs, admired for its playful form and unmistakable gurgling pour.

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item description. While we make every effort to restore our furniture to its original state, most pieces date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. As a result, and despite restoration, signs of their vintage nature and previous life may still be visible. Light traces of restoration may remain visible, consistent with authentic vintage furniture. In some cases, minor adjustments may also have been made during the restoration process to ensure the piece remains functional and usable. We will point out any notable aspects where possible. We encourage in-store viewing or careful review of photographs before purchase.
Items are wrapped and prepared for transport by us (not the courier) to ensure safe handling. Once items leave our premises, they are no longer insured. We recommend arranging goods-in-transit insurance through your own short-term insurer.
Due to the fragility of glass, we do not recommend shipping such items outside Gauteng. Please refer to our Shipping Policy for more information: https://retrend.co.za/policies/shipping-policy
