Couple Maintains Portugal's Tradition For Now

Husband and wife Francisco and Casilda Figueiredo are among the last exponents of a traditional Portuguese handicraft -- making ornamental ceramic penises, but say the tradition is dying out.
"The days of the ceramics trade here are numbered, I see no possibility of survival," Francisco said as he prepared moulds of the couple's top-of-the-range two-foot phallic-shaped bottles in his workshop..
"It will never be like it was in the past."
For more than three decades, the couple have carefully shaped thousands of ceramic male organs, molding them into upright shapes and painting them in life-like colors for export to Germany, France and North America.

I wonder if anyone has ever used it for something else other than its intended purpose....

What would the intended purpose be other then praying to the
"PENIS GOD."

Wow, How we can use such thing in the house as house's things!
What about if they are intended to make the same for female?
