Jug (unit)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The jug was a volume measure, had no uniform size and was not only divided regionally into very differently smaller units, but also derived from very different larger units.

The jug was suitable for liquids such as wine , brandy , oil and beer , but also for grain . It was already very different for the different liquids. Depending on the liquid, the jug was named with the appropriate prefix: beer jug, oil jug, wheat jug, etc. The designation with the name of the region or city in which it was valid often made it easier to distinguish. Example: Dresdner Kanne , Xantener Kanne etc. The kanne was regionally replaced by the term Maß with different spellings: Mas, Maas, Masel, Maßl and similar. Quartier or Kanna, Kande in Scandinavian also stand for the term. The average size was between one and two liters.
