Reference for Zevachim 43:4

אי הכי כלי חול נמי אמר אביי כלי חול לא מצית אמרת מקל וחומר מכנו ומה כנו שנמשח עמו אינו מקדש כלי חול שאינו נמשח עמו אינו דין שאינו מקדש

If so, then a profane vessel too [should be fit]? - Said Abaye: You cannot say [that] a profane vessel [is fit], this being deduced from its base, a fortiori: If its base, which was anointed together with it [the laver], does not sanctify [the water poured into it].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' To be used for this purpose. - This implies that the base itself could hold water.');">⁷</span> is it not logical that a profane vessel, which was not anointed with it, does not sanctify?
