Add a whimsical piece of New England history to your home decor with this authentic vintage "Gurgling Cod" pitcher, custom commissioned in England exclusively for Boston's historic luxury retailer, Shreve, Crump & Low Co..

Modeled after the classic British "gluggle jug," this delightful novelty piece features a unique hollow design that traps air in the fish's tail. When you pour liquid out, it emits a charming and distinctive "gurgling" or "glugging" sound.

This specific vintage edition is finished in a stunning, high-gloss iridescent green glaze that reflects hints of metallic blues and deep emerald tones under the light, reminiscent of classic carnival glass. Whether styled as an eye-catching floral vase, used as a functional water pitcher, or showcased as a conversation-starting art pottery collectible, it brings unmistakable New England character to any space.
