ceramic pot

Fired clay container

A ceramic pot is a container made from clay that has been hardened by firing at high temperatures.

Ceramic pots serve as vessels for cooking, storage, or growing plants: The ceramic pot on the windowsill holds fresh herbs.

The term distinguishes clay-based containers from those made of plastic, metal, or other materials.
