Many people ask us what is a gurgling cod? It is a whimsical fish shaped pitcher modeled after traditional English "glug jug". Turn one over and hear this delightful sound.

What makes these cod pitchers unique is their anatomically correct fins, gills and scales of a fish native to New England waters.

It is hard to find someone who does not know someone with a gurgling cod. People receive them as wedding gifts, engagement gifts, and thank you gifts. They have even made their way to France, Germany and Japan.

In 1964, Shreve, Crump & Low introduced the Gurgling Cod, Pitcher at the request of Benjamin Dale Shreve (whose son, Richard, would be the last family member to run the company).
