oil jar
Kitchen pour container
An oil jar is a container designed to hold oil, typically olive oil or other cooking oils.
The term appears most often in biblical and archaeological contexts, referring to ancient ceramic vessels used for storing precious oils: The widow had nothing but a small oil jar.
Modern usage is less common, as we typically say oil bottle or oil container.
