Gurgle Pot
A gurgle pot is a small decorative ceramic watering vessel shaped like a fish, traditionally used for pouring water into houseplants or your favourite drink. When you pour, air trapped in the fish’s body escapes through a narrow opening, creating a characteristic gurgling sound—both charming and practical.
Features
Material: glazed ceramic with hand-painted or moulded details.
Size: compact (commonly 15–25 cm long) — easy to hold and store.
Pouring spout: discreetly integrated into the fish’s mouth.
Fill opening: usually on the fish’s back; some designs include a removable plug.
Drainage: narrow internal channel that produces the gurgle when pouring.
Uses
Watering indoor plants with controlled flow to avoid overwatering.
Decorative accent on a shelf, windowsill, or coffee table.
Pouring your favourite tipple from.
Humidifying a small area when used to mist or slowly drip water.
Care and maintenance
Rinse after each use to prevent mineral buildup.
Use distilled water if tap water causes deposits.
Clean stubborn residue with a soft brush and mild dish soap.
Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent cracking; hand wash only.
Store upright or on a dish to catch drips.
Styling ideas
Pair with succulents, ferns or kitchen herbs for a casual, coastal look.
Group several gurgle pots of different sizes and colours as a playful vignette.
Place near a sink or plant care station for easy refilling.
