Bartenura
בכל הכלים מקדשים. בין של עץ בין של עצם בין של זכוכית, ואפילו בכלי גללים דלא חשיבי כלי לענין טומאה לא מדברי תורה ולא מדברי סופרים, דכתיב מים חיים אל כלי ולא כתיב אל הכלי:
מחץ. כלי גדול של חרס שקורין בערבי אלמחגי״ר. ובקצה האחד ממנו עשוי כדמות בית יד והוא שולי המחץ. כך פירש הרמב״ם:
ואין מזין אלא בכלי. כלומר, שצריך שיהיו המים בכלי בשעת ההזאה:
אין מצילין. כל מה שבתוכה מטומאת אוהל המת ע״י צמיד פתיל, אלא כלים:
שאין מצילין מאויר כלי חרס אלא כלים. שאם יפול שרץ באויר כלי חרס, טמא כל מה שבתוכו אע״פ שלא נגע בהן, חוץ מכלים שאין מיטמאין מאויר כלי חרס, דכתיב (ויקרא י״א:ל״ג) כל אשר בתוכו יטמא מכל האוכל אשר יאכל, אוכלים ומשקין מיטמאין מאויר כלי חרס, ואין כלים מיטמאין מאויר כלי חרס:
שאין מצילין. כמו ואין מצילין. דוגמתו בריש פרק קמא דביצה שאפר כירה מוכן הוא, ואמר רבה בגמרא [דף ח׳] הכי קאמר, ואפר כירה מוכן הוא:

Bartenura
ביצת היוצרים – every vessel that the potter of earthenware begins to make, he first makes the material round like the form of an egg and makes for it a receptacle.
כשרה – to mix in it the waters of lustration/sin-offering.
ור' יוסי פוסל – for it is not considered a vessel to him. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yossi.
ביצת התרנגולת – its outer shell.
וחכמים פוסלים – for it is not considered a vessel. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.
ביצת היוצרים. כל כלי שמתחיל יוצר חרס לעשות, עושה תחילה החומר עגול כצורת ביצה ועושה לה בית קיבול:
כשרה. לקדש בה מי חטאת:
ור׳ יוסי פוסל. דלא חשיב ליה כלי. ואין הלכה כרבי יוסי:
ביצת התרנגולת. קליפתה החיצונה:
וחכמים פוסלים. שאינה חשובה כלי. והלכה כחכמים:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

בכל הכלים מקדשים – whether of wood, whether of bone, whether of glass, and even with vessels of dung, that are not considered a vessel in regard to defilement, not from the words of the Torah nor from the words of the Scribes, as I is written (Numbers 19:17): “And fresh water shall be added to them in a vessel,” but it is not written, “to the vessel.”
מחץ (ladle) – a large earthenware vessel that they call ALMAKHDIR in Arabic. And on one end of it is made in the form of a handle and it the sides of a broken ladle. Such is how Maimonides explained it.
ואין מזין אלא בכלי – meaning to say, that the water must be in the vessel at the time of the sprinkling.
אין מצילין – all what is inside it [is protected] from the defilement of the tent of corpse through a tightly fitting cover, except [whole] vessels.
שאין מצילין מאויר כלי חרס אלא כלים – that if a creeping reptile would fall into the airspace of an earthenware vessel, everything that is within it is impure even though it did not come in contact with them, except for utensils that are not defiled from the airspace of an earthenware vessels, as it is written (Leviticus 11:33-34): “[And if any of those falls into an earthen vessel,] everything inside it shall be impure…as to any food that may be eaten,” food and liquids become defiled from the airspace of earthenware vessels, but utensils/vessels are not defiled from the airspace of earthenware vessels.
שאין מצילין – like, and they do not protect/ואין מצילין , and an example of this is at the beginning of the first chapter of [Tractate] Betza [8a] that the ashes of a portable stove on feet with caves for two pots is prepared, and Rabbah stated in the Gemara (Tractate Betza 8a), that this is what he said, that the ashes of a portable stove on feet with caves for two pots is ready/prepared.
