Inspiration Leather mugs and pitchers called jacks were in common use in England and her colonies during the 17th and 18th centuries. They were "jacked" or coated in pitch to make them watertight. Light and durable, these drinking vessels varied in sizes and shapes from a pint or smaller to gallons.
