Anything and everything, olives, olive oil, grain, wine,water, even clothing. It depends on what kind of pottery. Some was just decorative, like many vases you can see in museums. Some of them actually were vases to hold cut flowers, some we call vases 'cause hat's what they look like. They could have been punch bowls, serving dishes, drinking cups, soup bowls, or something else.
You may be asking specifically about amphora, large jars whose bottoms taper down to points. They were used for shipping various goods, specially ones that shouldn't get wet like grain and fabrics, or thibgs that water would spoil like wine and oils. The pointed bottom made them easier to fit into the bottoms of ships. Straw was packd firmly around them to prevent breakage and to hold them in place. THe amphora could be stacked in many straw padded layers.
Flat bottomed jars, standing on end could fall over at sea, and if an amphora did happen to get loose, it would roll around in a circle instead of all over the ship breking itself or other jars.
