Did the ancients drink out of ceramic jugs?

By coincidence, in Myarmoury they are discussing the leather bottles too.

The traditional "bota" is made of goat leather, treated with vegetable tanines, and with resines of pine and juniper in the inside surfaces.

The wineskin (a whole goat skin) has been used until well entered the XXth century, my great-granddad bought still the wine in it. BTW, they caught fire quite well when empty and dried.
