Pot.

The term "pot" is applicable to so many sorts of vessels that it can scarcely be restricted to any one in particular.

1. Asuc

2Ki 4:2

the earthen jar, deep and narrow, without handles, probably like the Roman and Egyptian amphora, inserted in a stand of wood or stone.

2. Cheres, an earthen vessel for stewing or seething.

Le 6:28; Eze 4:9

3. Dud, a vessel for culinary purposes, perhaps of smaller size.

1Sa 2:14

The "pots" set before the Rachabites,

Jer 35:5

were probably bulging jars or bowls. The water-pots of Cana appear to have been large amphorae, such as are in use at the present day in Syria. These were of stone or hard earthenware. The water-pot of the Samaritan woman may have been a leathern bucket, such as Bedouin women use.
