We love Glugs!

What started out as something of a novelty purchase when the Garnet Stores first opened, has now, four years on, become part of our core range. Their popularity just seems to grow and it seems you love them as much as we do!

Gurgling water jugs were invented in the late 1870s by the British company Thomas Forester & Sons. However, most people associate these jugs with the British "Dartmouth Pottery", which first gave the jug its fish-shaped design.

A special pair of water jugs was made for the English Queen and Prince Philip in 1958 and presented to them during their visit to Britannia Naval College. The then head of the college commissioned the making of the jugs and provided them with the royal seal and date. Through this gift, the water jug became popular and a collector's item.

Since then, the jugs have been a popular iconic piece of British design bringing joy to households all over the world.

Famed for their ‘glug’ noise when poured, caused by the bubble realease from they tail of the fish. They also make for wonderful vases. And the minis are used for anything from pen pots, to toothbrush holders and bud vases.
