An earthenware fragment that cannot stand because of its handle, or it has a protrusion and the protrusion tilts it, is tahor. [If] the handle was removed [or] the protrusion broke off, it is [still] tahor; R’ Yehudah rules [it] tamei. A barrel whose bottom fell out but is able to contain on its walls, or it split [and became] like two troughs: R’ Yehudah rules [it] tahor, but the Sages rule [it] tamei.

A barrel that has fractured and cannot be transported with a half-kav of dried figs is tahor. A gistera that has fractured and cannot contain liquids, although it can contain [solid] foods, is tahor, since there are no remnants for remnants.
