It was broader at the bottom than above at the orifice, and when sufficiently heated by a fire kindled within, the dough was baked by being spread upon the outside.

Thayer's Expanded Definition

κλίβανος, κλιβανου, ὁ (for κρίβανος, more common in earlier (yet κλίβανος in Herodotus 2, 92 (cf. Athen. 3, p. 110 c.)) and Attic Greek; see Lob. ad Phryn., p. 179; Passow, under the word κρίβανος; (Winer's Grammar, 22));

1. a clibanus, an earthen vessel for baking bread (Hebrew תַּנּוּר, Exodus 8:3 ( in Hebrew); Leviticus 2:4; Leviticus 26:26; Hosea 7:4). It was broader at the bottom than above at the orifice, and when sufficiently heated by a fire kindled within, the dough was baked by being spread upon the outside (but according to others, the dough was placed inside and the fire or coals outside, the vessel being often perforated with small holes that the heat might the better penetrate; cf. Rich, Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquity, under the wordclibanus; see Schol. on Aristophanes Acharn. 86 (iv. 2, p. 339, 20f Dindorf)).

2. equivalent to ἰπνός, a furnace, an oven: so Matthew 6:30; Luke 12:28.

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

This Ionic form, which is found in Matthew 6:30, Luke 12:28 (and always in the LXX) for the Attic κρίβανος, is supported by P Petr III. 140 (a).3 (Ptol.) ξύλα κλιβάνωι, of a furnace fed with logs of wood, the word κλιβάνωι being inserted above the line, P Grenf I. 21.14 (B.C. 126) εἰς κλιβάνου τόπον, and BGU IV. 1117.10 (B.C. 13) κτήσεως σὺν τοῖς ἐν αὐτῷ κλιβάν [οις δυσί ]ν τε καὶ κλιβανικοῖς σκεύεσσιν. This last document also shows .8, .24 κλιβάνιον, and an adj. κλιβανικός. See also Crönert Mem. Herc. p. 77 n.4. The word is probably of Semitic origin (Lewy Fremdwörter, p. 105 f.).
