Jars
This category includes vessels that have cylindrical bodies and closed rims.
A Jar is a type of vessel that has an approximately cylindrical body and is used for cooking or storage purposes. By using Anna Shepard's criteria, a jar is a closed form where the height is greater than the diameter. The angle of the sides from the base are between 45 and 90 degrees and it has an apparent neck. A Jar may or may not have handles. If It has a spout, it is listed under Spouted Jar.
