Do you own a jug?

I have a measuring jug, which is useful, because it measures things. I can't really see how any additional jugs would have any utility. One of those kitchen items I am bemused by.

I started cooking at the age of about 9 or 10, so I've had my own measuring jug (at least 1, usually 2, because sometimes you need to measure different things at the same time) for as long as I've had my own home. 
Currently have 2 pyrex ones, but some of the markings have come off so I may have to get a new one.
Also have a big glass jug which I've used both to make lemonade and iced tea in the summer, and as a flower vase.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?

I want one of these. I ordered one online a while ago but, thinking all gravy boats were about the same size, didn't bother checking the measurements.
What arrived was a tiny thing about 3 inches wide which seemed made for a dolls house.
That one is an antique. Of course. Because heaven forbid the kabbess buys anything less than 50 years old.

Yes, my mum had something very similar that I think was my nan's previously. It's the classic shape that everyone thinks a gravy boat should be.

So many particulars. So many questions.
The plastic measuring jug has seen better days. A lot of them. It's not used for food liquids or measuring. That role is ably seen to by the Pyrex. The very small one is ornament. Antique I'm told. Of no use anyway. Holds maybe two thimblefuls. The unclean one with gravy detritus still in it is my personal gravy delivery vehicle.
Vase in shot cos it's pretty an 100% recycled glass.

I also have a teeny milk jug for the same reason. Sometimes I use it to refill the iron.
Off the top of my head I also have 2 measuring jugs, possibly 3, 3 solo small milk jugs, 3 that are part of vintage coffee sets and 1 flower jug. Last year I broke my favourite large flower jug and haven't yet found one worthy of replacing it.
Edited to add a jug.

In fairness I'm a bit of a collector of vintage china.

Looonnnggg time (Suburban) lurker, Mrs B, has encouraged me to present her favourite (mint) jug.
Picked up last year in the chassa for £2, Mrs B uses it as one of her mint nurseries; she buys yellow label herbs and brings them on in jugs. For the jugnoscenti it's a 1960s Susan Williams-Ellis, Port Meirion piece.

I'm aware that this post has the potential to send the thread into Brewdog territory ( 
) but here are 2 more of Mrs B's mint nursery receptacles, neither of which are actually jugs, but she thought you might like to see them especially as the taller one is Rye pottery.

Probably about 60 - my wife has a weakness for white domestic jugs dating from the 1930's onwards ,which can be picked up in charity shops for a few pounds - to be fair some are attractive with makers stamps etc on them , and they probably have lots of domestic history behind them.
Like me buying second hand books , she smuggles them in , hoping I have not noticed.

We own three jugs.
One Pyrex one for mixing stuff. No pic as it's dull.
This posh black glass one, made by LSA, that I got gifted. Really annoying as you could never see how much was in it, so it's been repurposed as a vase.
And this smaller one, bought new from a shop on Streatham High Rd as I loved it. Used for refilling the coffee machine.

Merry Xmas!
Jugs for measuring, water, decorative and one to hold the hashi in. My gran had a few tobys, iirc.

Lovely stuff Ruby.
Now you've got Mrs B on a roll!
This one was her (Welsh) Grandmother's jug.
