Did the ancients drink out of ceramic jugs?
#1
Or in other words: Would a small amphora-like jug make a good water bottle for all-day reenactments and marches, or would drinking straight out of one just look silly? I know normal custom was to pour from a jug into a drinking cup...

I bring it up because ceramic jugs are easily documented, while I have doubts about the hard waxed leather bottle I've been using, and because ceramic would have certain advantages -- won't spring leaks from being left in the sun, can be run through the dishwasher if needed and so on.

I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.

To pick myself up from under this table...
