How it's used
Refers specifically to traditional earthenware vessels with narrow necks, often used for fermentation or storage. While modern containers are usually plastic or glass, this term remains the standard for traditional clay jars used in kitchens or for medicinal purposes.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 樽, which is the general term for bottles or jars made of glass or plastic. Using 罌 for a modern plastic water bottle sounds archaic or incorrect.
