Stoneware jugs were manufactured in a variety of sizes as storage vessels that were capable of withstanding the occasional bump or knock. The sizes ranged from the quite small pint and half pint jugs up to larger 5 gallon jugs. Somewhere in the middle of all this are the 1 gallon stoneware jugs that are the ideal size for everyday use.
A 1 gallon jug is large enough to contain a sizable quantity of liquid while still being small enough to be manageable when having to carry it around. It should also be light enough to pour without having to strain too much. For those who wish to decorate using their stoneware jugs the single gallon jugs represent a suitable size to be placed on a display shelf without appearing overly large and dominant.
