<p>[QUOTE="Lulululu, post: 41790, member: 431"]If it is intended for storage of something like garlic, that needs to be kept dry, it will not be glazed, because the porous clay draws out moisture. That unglazed interior is one reason I think the bar and hole are to help keep the stored item dry. Honey pots are glazed, and would have no reason for either the bar or the hole, so I don't believe there is any possibiity it is a honey pot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
