Etymology

From Mon [Term?], a small port town in Burma today called Mottama, the name of which, under the reign of the Kingdom of Pegu, in the fifteenth to seventeenth century was used to denote glazed earthenware jars sent to influential persons, Martaban jars. The term came to denote more dissimilar types of jars so that it now means merely mundane canning jars across languages.
