Portuguese term

anforisco

Portuguese to English Art/Literary History Roman Villae
'Por toda a cidade, mas em especial nesta zona, foram encontrados fragmentos de pequenos recipientes, de tipo unguentário ou anforisco, que documentam o controlo da actividade comercial por membros da administração civil'

From what I was able to find, this is a small amphora. Now, I can't seem to find a proper term for it in English, if there is one.

Thanks in advance for your help!
