All the work was sold out of the yard straight to customers that came and picked it up, sometimes even straight out of the hot kiln.  A favorite item was the "stamna" or traditional water-jug.  It was used to store and cool water.  It was made of porous earthenware clay which allowed water to "sweat" through it and when it was kept in a shady and breezy location it acted as a natural refrigerator.  This item was very popular, since almost no one had refrigerators at the time.
