Lavers are objects or containers used for pouring liquids. There are several synonyms for this word, including decanter, jug, pitcher, carafe, bottle, flask, and flagon. Decanters are often made of glass and used for serving wine or other alcoholic beverages. Jugs and pitchers are usually made of ceramic or metal and used for serving water or juice. Carafes are similar to pitchers but often have a narrower neck and are used for serving wine or coffee. Bottles and flasks are typically used for carrying liquids on-the-go, while flagons are large, often metal containers used for serving ale or other beverages in a festive setting.
