פַּנָּס שֶׁיֶּשׁ בּוֹ בֵית קִבּוּל שֶׁמֶן, טָמֵא. וְשֶׁאֵין בּוֹ, טָהוֹר. מְגוּפַת הַיּוֹצְרִין שֶׁהוּא פוֹתֵחַ בָּהּ, טְהוֹרָה. וְשֶׁהוּא גוֹמֵר בָּהּ, טְמֵאָה. מַשְׁפֵּךְ שֶׁל בַּעֲלֵי בָתִּים, טָהוֹר. וְשֶׁל רוֹכְלִין, טָמֵא, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא שֶׁל מִדָּה, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יְהוּדָה בֶן בְּתֵירָא. רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא מַטֵּהוּ עַל צִדּוֹ וּמֵרִיחַ בּוֹ לַלּוֹקֵחַ:

If a lantern [of earthenware] has a reservoir for oil it is susceptible to impurity; if it has not, it is not susceptible. A potter's mold with which he begins [to shape the clay] is not susceptible to impurity; but that with which he finishes it is susceptible. A funnel belonging to householders is not susceptible to impurity, but one that belongs to peddlers is susceptible, since it serves also as a measure: the words of Rabbi Yehudah ben Beteira. But Rabbi Akiva says: because he lays it on its side to let the buyer smell it.
