Name that jar!

What would you call this type of jar?
I am looking for a big jar just like this one but the term for it escapes me, which is hampering the search. What would you call it? (Bonus points if you can tell me where I might find one!)

Those look like the jars that come with "apple juice from farm stands" kind of thing.

I think it is called a "growler". I actually found them at Ikea about a year ago, but several online sites sell them.

simply searching "glass jug" will find you what you want, adding "finger hole" or "finger handle" will make your search even more specific

I'd call it a demijohn - I guess that's the British English.

I agree with singinginmychain on a growler.

Yeah, they call that a growler in the Midwest.

Growler is specifically half a gallon, whereas glass jugs of the same shape are made in other sizes.
And if you speak British English.. don't ever call it a growler. That's British slang for.. something else.

I would also call it a demijohn. They are used for fermenting country wines.
