Mesorat%20hashas for Kelim 2:1

כְּלֵי עֵץ, וּכְלֵי עוֹר, וּכְלֵי עֶצֶם, וּכְלֵי זְכוּכִית, פְּשׁוּטֵיהֶן טְהוֹרִים, וּמְקַבְּלֵיהֶן טְמֵאִים. נִשְׁבְּרוּ, טָהָרוּ. חָזַר וְעָשָׂה מֵהֶם כֵּלִים, מְקַבְּלִין טֻמְאָה מִכָּאן וּלְהַבָּא. כְּלֵי חֶרֶס וּכְלֵי נֶתֶר, טֻמְאָתָן שָׁוָה. מִטַּמְּאִין וּמְטַמְּאִין בַּאֲוִיר, וּמִטַּמְּאִין מֵאֲחוֹרֵיהֶן, וְאֵינָן מִטַּמְּאִין מִגַּבֵּיהֶן, וּשְׁבִירָתָן הִיא טָהֳרָתָן:

Utensils of wood, leather, bone, or glass that are flat are not susceptible to ritual impurity. If they form a receptacle they are susceptible. If they are broken, they become pure. If one then made utensils from them, they are subject to ritual impurity from then on. Earthenware vessels and vessels of alum-crystal are alike in matters of ritual impurity: they contract impurity and convey impurity through their air-space, and they contract impurity from what touches their bottoms but not from what touches their outer sides; and when they are broken they become pure.
