Reference for Chagigah 51:9
ובירושלים נאמנין על הקודש: תנא נאמנין על כלי חרס גסין לקודש וכל כך למה שאין עושין כבשונות בירושלים:
(Mishnah:) And in Jerusalem they are trusted regarding holy things: (Gemara:) It was taught [in a Baraita]: "They are trusted regarding [even] large clay vessels with regard to holy things. And all this, why? Because they would not make furnaces in Jerusalem [with which to make vessels, forcing them to trust the <i>Amei Ha'Aretz</i>.
