guild flagon

A jug is a container, typically made of glass, earthenware, or plastic, with a handle and a narrow mouth. It can also refer to the contents of such a container or, in British English, a small pitcher. In medieval Germany, pewter jugs were crafted and regulated by guilds, with specific ratios of tin and lead, and often marked with hallmarks.12

A flagon is a handled container for liquids, often with a lip or spout, and is synonymous with jugs and pitchers. Guild flagons, particularly from Silesia around 1500, were often polygonal and engraved with decorative motifs. In the 15th century, a distinct jug style emerged with a disk-shaped base and spherical body, which saw a resurgence in the 17th century.32
