In the past, eggs were preserved for a long time by filling jars of eggs with a mixture of water and slaked lime.
This is one such pot that was used for that purpose.
The inside of the ancient earthenware pot was glazed.
You can still see the lime residue on the inside
The outside of the pot was left unglazed.
Because the pot had some hairline cracks, iron wire was used on the outside to prevent cracks from forming.
This beautiful earthenware pot dates from the early 1900s
