Jars of different shapes and sizes are depicted in most paintings at Ajanta.

Some appear to be Wine-Jars called Surābhānda.

Drinking cups have simliar designs. Drinking seems to have been an activity enjoyed by both the genders and there are plenty of literary references to it.

Bowls have flared rims and large bases.

One such bowl is depicted as a flower vase.

There is a large variety of trays in the Ajanta paintings. Often highly decorated, they are used to carry flowers and offerings.

Household vessels of all shapes and sizes are shown, some suspended from poles. These were used for cooking or for storage and perhaps were made out of terracotta.
