Anotations

Scope note:

Covered containers in the shape of a vase or jar and characterized by pierced decorations on the shoulder or cover, or both. They were intended primarily for liquid or dried potpourri, which is a mixture of flower petals, spices, fruit juices, or other aromatic substances. For similar containers, often vaselike in form, in which aromatic pastilles may be burned or liquid perfumes evaporated, use "cassolettes."
