flagons

Spouted drinking jugs

Flagons is the plural of flagon, a large container for serving wine or other drinks, typically with a handle, spout, and sometimes a lid.

The word evokes medieval banquet halls and tavern scenes: The servant filled their flagons with ale.

A flagon holds more than a cup or goblet—it's meant for pouring, not sipping directly.
