Containers breakdown from Clothing/Materials list and Fabulous Words for Creative Writing
This is my Containers sub-list from my "Clothing/Materials Reference (Full List). It has been expanded to include food containers and utensils from "Fabulous Words for Creative Writing. The intention of this list is as a creative writing reference, but if it helps for other projects, that's ok, too.

Breaking this list out of the main lists should make it easier to search for items under its identified topic. Other clothing/materials or obscure words list items should be referenced from the main list or from their individual breakdown category. This list is comprehensive, but also incomplete. (Reference sites at the end.)

Many of these are self-explanatory.
"Circa" indicates estimated era the term came into use (written or verbal).

This list has four sections, two sub-sections with eleven categories:New or modified words since last update:
