A leech pot (or jar) is a container, often ornate ceramic or glass, used historically to store live leeches for bloodletting, featuring a perforated lid or covered with muslin to allow air while preventing escape. These jars, popular from the 17th-19th centuries, held leeches for patients seeking relief from imbalances believed to cause illness.
