Juglet[edit]

The ancient Middle Eastern vessel called a "juglet" should perhaps be mentioned in this article. Badagnani (talk) 07:07, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Face jugs[edit]

Face jugs should be mentioned. Badagnani (talk) 07:08, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Beer jugs[edit]

We say that in the US a two-pint container of beer "is called a pitcher, while in New Zealand and Australia a pitcher usually refers a much larger measure of beer." This doesn't jibe with my experience--in America a pitcher of beer is generally 60 to 64 fluid ounces, which is much more than two pints even if the pints in question are imperial pints. 65.213.77.129 (talk) 13:47, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I also have never heard of anyone in Australia referring to ANY amount of beer as a pitcher. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.110.12.14 (talk) 09:56, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no concensus Gmcbjames (talk) 17:46, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've suggested the Pitcher (container) article be merged into this one - the two words may have different origins but today they mean exactly the same thing.Gymnophoria (talk) 21:11, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed the merge proposal you have made was not closed, and there has been no discussion to reach a consensus. I changed the title of this section, see: WP:Merge. I have two questions. The first is whether you will be completing the merge yourself and will you be following all of the guidelines for merging according to Wikipedia policy as stated in WP:Merge. The second is the subject itself. What source will you be citing stating that a pitcher and jug are the same? Or does this matter as pitcher can be fully covered under the topic of jug? Gmcbjames (talk) 06:20, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From what I understand, do correct me if I am wrong: Jug is used primarily in the UK, while Pitcher is used primarily in the USA. In the USA, a toby jug is also called a toby pitcher. Gmcbjames (talk) 06:53, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If the above statement is true, how about moving Jug (container) to Jug (pitcher) and then merge Pitcher to Jug (pitcher) integrating pitchers text - this may be a great compromise. Gmcbjames (talk) 07:16, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
