The Story Behind the Gurgle Pot

The Gurgle Pot is more than just a unique beverage pitcher. It produces a delightful "gurgling" sound as trapped air is released from the tail after pouring.

The designer, Matt Ellison, shares his inspiration:
"Years ago, I attended my brother's wedding in a small village in Southern France. Since there were no hotels in town, all guests were matched with French hosts. My hosts spoke no English and I spoke no French which made dinner conversation a challenge. Long stretches of awkward silences were compounded by the fact that French dinners can last 3-4 hours. There was, however, one saving grace...a fish shaped water pitcher that "gurgled." I found myself drinking more water than wine so I could fill the silent room with "gurgling" and  unite the table with smiles."

Pour, Listen, Enjoy!
