These are tahor among the earthenware utensils: A tray that has no rim, an open-sided firepan, a toaster’s pan, pipes — even though [they are] bent [and] even though [they are] capable of containing, a kavkav made for a bread basket, a tefi which was adapted for [covering] grapes, a barrel for swimmers, a barrel-[shaped handle] set into [the wall] near the bottom of a machatz, a bed, a chair, a bench, a table, a ship, and a candelabra, [all] made of earthenware, are tahor. This is the general rule: Any of the earthenware utensils which have no interior, have no [decree of tumah upon their] exterior.

A lantern that has a receptacle for oil is tamei, while if it does not have [such a receptacle] it is tahor. A potter’s form which he begins with is tahor, while [the one] which he finishes with is tamei. A funnel of householders is tahor, while that of peddlers is tamei since it is used for measurement; [these are] the words of R’ Yehudah ben Beseira. R’ Akiva says: Since he tilts it on its side and allows the buyer to smell [its contents].
