    Yes and that pottery was used for different purposes.

    You know we have ancient sex toys and they tend to not be 3.5 inch long pieces of ceramic, right?

      Do we know all the purposes? No.

      We know we have what we believe are sex toys and those are anything from wood to bone anywhere from a few inches to almost a foot iirc.

      We don’t know but predicting your incredulity on glazing being “flaky” is interesting given that glazing normally isn’t flaky and we have ceramic and glass sex toys today.

      Like I dunno this gourd shaped one.

      Point being a carpenter has access to wood, a potter has access to clay. People work with what they’ve got and people are horny weirdos, there’s going to be a few odd sex toys throughout history.
