ACCEPTED ANSWER

Score 4


I Google image searched "glass water jar with spigot", and then clicked through to view page for about 15 selected images.

Results, in order of commonality:

  • Beverage dispenser
  • Infuser jar (Indicating that there would be cut up fruit to flavour the water)
  • Spigot jar

I know they are marketed in the US as an "Italian Beverage Jar". Sangria comes to mind. But an Italian friend says he has never encountered such a jar in Italy.

jar, infusion jar, spigot jar, beverage dispenser, glass urn, vodka dispenser
