Kumgan

a metal or ceramic vessel for water. Metal kumgany have been known in the countries of the East since antiquity. They usually are narrow-necked jugs, with a long spout, a handle, and a lid. Metal kumgany are decorated with embossing, engraving, and inlay. In Russia, ceramic kumgany became wide-spread between the early 17th and 19th centuries. They are similar in shape to kvasniki but do not have a hole piercing the center of the disklike body. The ceramic kumgany, which were polished and glazed (for example, covered with a green glaze), were decorated with reliefs; the majolica and faience kumgany were embellished with polychromatic painting.
