ceramic jars

Fired clay containers

Ceramic jars are containers made from fired clay, used for storage, preservation, or decoration.

The term encompasses everything from ancient amphorae to modern kitchen canisters.

Ceramics keep contents cool and protected from light, making them traditional vessels for oils, grains, and fermented foods: a row of ceramic jars filled with pickled vegetables.
