Jeremiah 19:1. Thus saith the Lord, Go and get a potter’s earthen bottle.
It is evident from this and other passages that it is a mistake to suppose that all Eastern bottles were made of skin. Ancient bottles of earthenware of various shapes are to be found in the museums, and are often depicted on the monuments. In 1 Kings 14:3, bakbuk, here rendered bottle, is spoke of as a “cruse” in which honey was kept.
