A cloth would line the interior and homemade edibles would be stored inside. I have seen
one used for cookies!

This jar has a wonderful warm copper patina. It is gently warn and it shows it was used and
cleaned regularly. There is a wonderful Mogul leaf and tendril pattern on the bottom.
I saw the same pattern painted on the interior wall of the Lahore Fort. May have been from
the Singh Era in Lahore.

I bought it in 1975 in Lahore from a reputable source. less
