Rather late but reply from Paul Courtney is: 'A little late for me but I looked in my stoneware books and couldn't find one. However, I would go for spigot jar - its what new ones are called anyway.' so...bunghole jar...spigot jar..take your choice Regards, Mike Mike Shaw City Archaeologist Wolverhampton City Council Civic Centre Wolverhampton WV1 1RP e-mail [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Tel: 01902 555493 From: Issues related to Historic Environment Records [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Botfield Sarah Sent: 08 June 2012 14:21 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Tap Jar Hello all Can anyone help? Do you know which Thesaurus term would fit this object (see picture). The article refers to them as 'tap-jars'. I had thought of 'demi-john' but that doesn't really fit and that doesn't appear in the thesaurus either. Could I call it a 'BUNGHOLE JAR'?
