Jug

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Etruscan beaked jug

A jug with a long mouth is called a beaked jug .

The Celts took over the shape of the jugs from the Etruscans . They imported them and began to copy them and develop them according to their own style. They were mostly made of bronze or clay . The most famous Celtic bronze jugs come from the Hessian Glauberg and from the Dürrnberg near Hallein in Austria, which are considered to be Celtic advancements. A large number of clay jugs were also found there.

Vessels known as jugs were also made in Siegburg around 1600 .
