Another basic vessel type in antiquity was the storejar, tall oval or pear-shaped jars usually having two or four handles. The tops were closed with an appropriately shaped potsherd or by a clay stopper. Jars were used for storage or flour or meal (1 Kings 17:14) or for transport and storage of liquid rations such as water (Mark 14:13 KJV, “pitcher”; John 4:28 KJV, “waterpot”). A smaller jar was used for storing oil (2 Kings 4:2; KJV, “pot;” NIV, “a little”). Storejars were often designed to hold standard measures, a common size in the Old Testament period being two baths, averaging twenty-five inches high and sixteen in diameter. Typical storejars had rounded, almost pointed, bases and were placed in stands, holes in wood planks, or pressed into soft ground. A special type was shaped like a cylinder with no handles and a ribbed rim.
