Wedgwood offered their "Club" jug shape with or without a lid.  As a result, we occasionally find a jug which has lost its lid.  The key to identifying which jugs originally had lids is a small ledge down inside the neck to support the lid.   The interior walls of non-lidded jug extend inward smoothly with no interruption. Otherwise, the jugs are identical.
