A flagon (/ˈflæɡən/) is a large leather, metal, glass, plastic or ceramic vessel, used for drink, whether this be water, ale, or another liquid. A flagon is typically of about 2 imperial pints (1.1 L) in volume[citation needed], and it has either a handle (when strictly it is a jug), or (more usually) one[1] or two[2] rings at the neck. Sometimes the neck has a large flange at the top rather than rings.[3] The neck itself may or may not be formed into one, two or three spouts. The name comes from the same origin as the word "flask".[4]
