Sunflower Gurgle Pot
Sunflower Gurgle Pot
The GurglePot is more than just a beverage pitcher. It produces a delightful "gurgling" sound as trapped air is released from the tail after pouring.
To experience the "gurgle," fill the GurglePot half full with water. Tilt the GurglePot forward until the water almost dispenses, then slowly bring back upright.
The GurglePot Story
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 the dinner conversation a challenge. Long stretches of awkward silences were compounded by the fact that French dinners can last for 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.
Inspired by the lighthearted effect of the gurgling sound, I returned home and began sculpting my own version. Ten years, two kids, 15 molds and one typhoon off the coast of China later, I can finally share the GurglePot® with you. I'm confident it will create similar smiles around your dining table in years to come.
Pour, Listen, Enjoy!
