...it seems it was something that didn't last long, except on the Eve of Shabbat. So how was this preserved in a pot for future generations?

We kinow the story of how when the Ark was made which represented G-ds throne the L-RD told Moses to put three things in it.

The ten words
Aarons Staff
and a
Pot of Manna

So we have a engraved Sapphire like Stone
A Almond stick that budded and that belonged to Aaron
A pot filled with nurishment

The stone would stand the test of time as would the words engraved upon them

But what about the other things?

Aarons rod was the symbol of who G-d choose to be the tribe that would be the Priests in his service.

However wood only has a certain life expectancy.
I found this about Almond wood

Almond wood burns very hot and long. It burns clean, with relatively low smoke and produces little ash compared to oak. Almond is great for home heating in a wood stove or fireplace.
Typically, artifacts of wood rot and are gone in a relatively short period of time. Some larger wooden artifacts may last as long as 100 years or so, but in special environments like muck, ice or dry caves, artifacts have been known to last for hundreds or even thousands of years.​

Possibly it could have been preserved in the ark which was covered both inside and out with Gold.

But the manna?

And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot and put one omer of manna in it, and put
it away before the Lord, to be kept for future generations. ..

An omer equals about :

In traditional Jewish standards of measurement, the omer was equivalent to the capacity of 43.2 eggs

It's about 3 and a third pounds
​

An omer of manna was the amount supposed to be gathered for each person, every day except on the 6th day when it was double..

So a good amount but remember this part:

19 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
21 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.​

Now it seems it was something that didn't last long, except on the Eve of Shabbat. So how was this preserved in a pot for future generations?
