flagon
Medieval drink vessel
A flagon is a large container for serving drinks, typically with a handle, spout, and sometimes a lid.
The word evokes medieval or rustic settings—wine or ale brought to the table in a flagon rather than a bottle.
The innkeeper set a flagon of mead before them.
Modern use is mostly literary or decorative.
