Jug Pics

A jug is a type of container for liquid. It has an opening, often narrow, from which to pour or drink, and nearly always has some kind of handle. One could imagine a jug being made from nearly any watertight material, but most jugs throughout history have been made from clay, glass, or plastic. Some Native American and other tribes created liquid holding vessels by making woven baskets lined with an asphaltum sealer.

In American English usage, a jug is a large container with a narrow mouth and handle for liquids.

In British English, and generally in English speaking countries outside North America, usage, a jug is any container with a handle and a mouth or spout for liquid.
