clay jar
Terracotta storage container
A clay jar is a container made from fired or unfired clay, used since ancient times for storing food, water, oil, or other goods.
The term often appears in biblical and archaeological contexts: The Dead Sea Scrolls were preserved in clay jars.
Clay jars range from crude earthenware to refined pottery, distinguished from modern ceramics mainly by traditional materials and methods.
