Label TextBatter jugs were used to mix and store pancake or other batter. The spout and bail handle made it easy to pour the contents out. A Bristol glaze was a liquid glaze invented in Bristol, England, about 1835. Stoneware with this glaze was impervious to acids as well as being considered more attractive than salt-glazed wares.
