Lidded Storage Jar: a Coil-Built Pot with a Fitted Flanged Lid
Fired clay does not rust, react with salts or let light through, which is why herbs, pigments and remedies were kept in clay jars. This is our coil pot with a straight neck and a lid that sits inside it on a flange, made from the same clay at the same time so both shrink alike.
The picture: a lidded earthenware jar with a horn handle, Korea, Silla or Kaya period (Cleveland Museum of Art).

Build the jar
Build a coil pot as in the coil pot blueprint, but bring the neck up straight and finish the rim level all round, so a lid can sit on it.

Make the lid
While the jar is still soft, roll a disc a little wider than the mouth. Measure the inside of the neck and add a coil ring underneath the disc that just fits inside it: the flange that keeps the lid from sliding. Score, slip and join it, and add a knob on top.

Dry them slowly to bone-dry, the lid off the jar, and fire them in the same pit firing as the coil pot, so they shrink alike.

Lama-blueprint abelana ngolwazi — amasu, izinto noma izimiso
CC0 Isizinda Somphakathi
Le blueprint ikhishwe ngaphansi kwe-CC0. Ukhululekile ukukopisha, ukuguqula, ukusabalalisa, nokusebenzisa ngaphandle kwemvume.
Sekela uMenzi ngokuthenga imikhiqizo nge-Blueprint yabo IKhomishane Yomenzi kumiswe ngabathengisi, noma dala inguqulo entsha yale Blueprint bese uyifaka njengoxhumaniso ku-Blueprint yakho ukuze wabelane ngemali engenayo.
