Sure, you may forward the reply. I have read a journal article about these turned water jars. There was information about early Jewish ritual purification law in the Jerusalem Talmud. This Talmud also contained oral law predating the destruction of the temple. I recalled another turned stone water in the Wohl Museum of the Jewish Quarter of Old City of Jerusalem also.

There is also a link on this page to the photos of the Capernaum water jars, displayed at the Franciscan Capernaum.
There used to be one in the Israel Museum also but they do not allow photos.
Limestone is relatively soft and they were carved with iron tools. The fancy one displayed at the Qumran visitor center was turned on a lathe. Others like it were found in Jerusalem.

David,
Do you still have the pictures of water jars on your site? I don't
have that URL right now. There is someone on the b-greek list who is
interested in them.
