Those clay jars were (various sizes) were used to ship whatever was headed out to its destination, and generally so unadorned and cheap that they seldom made a second trip. Those beautiful ones with the painted mythological scenes, love scenes, and whatnot, that sell for 100s of 1000s of bucks, sold for only slightly more than the plain clay ones — back then.
