A jug was a kind of liquid storage container, resembling an enormous bottle or flask.[5] Carafes, decanters, and pitchers were similar but distinct items that focused more on pouring.[6][7][2]

Description[]

A typical jug held 1 gal (3.8 L) of liquid,[4] such as water or milk. They were usually made from ceramic clay (sometimes earthenware), glass, or metals, formed with a narrow neck and given a stopper to seal it shut. Some jugs had spouts or lips designed to effect accurate pouring, and a handle to make them easier to carry.[2][5]

Pitchers were usually open-topped and designed specifically for pouring, with a molded spout and sturdy handle.[6] Decanters resembled large, decorative bottles, intended for pouring fine drinks such as wine or sparkling water. They would have a handle to ensure that body heat from holding it did not warm the beverage within.[7]
