When these whimsical fish-shapedjugs are filled with water or any other beverage, air is trapped in the fish’stail; as the liquid is poured out, the air produces a surprisingly loud andrather delightfully marvelous gurgle that is always fun to hear. I have heard it said that in old days, abride would not think of taking up housekeeping without a "GurglingCod" on her dining room table. In 1964, when Shreve, Crump & Low introduced their ceramic Gurgling Cod Pitcher modeled after thetraditional English “glug jug”, these pieces were relatively unknown in the UnitedStates. Part of what makes Shreve, Crump& Low's cod pitchers unique are their highly detailed anatomically correctfins, gills, and scales, as well as their unique shape. Since their introduction, these fanciful worksof art have become a well-known symbol of Boston and are associated exclusivelywith Shreve, Crump & Low, which has become famous for this exclusiveproduct relating to the history and traditions of Boston. Generations of Bostonians have eagerly caughtthese cod fish pitchers which have become a symbol of the Commonwealth and havebeen Shreve, Crump & Low’s most popular gift for over two centuries.
