Pots
This category includes vessels that have shoulders larger than their bases, and a rim that is smaller than the base.
A Pot is a vessel that is like a jar but has a more open aperture. It is usually used for cooking and may also be categorized as an open form. By using Anna Shepard's criteria, a pot is a closed form where the height approximately equals the diameter. The angle of the sides from the base are between 60 and 90 degrees and it has little to no neck. Pots may or may not have handles.
