Well I do want to (cherry pick, yes) one little nugget from the many comments preceding. it demonstrates to me one of the common effect, treatments, whatever, which are another cause of the endless loop of genuine people get stuck in: The rejection of the obvious because of what it points to modern fake; in favor of some very far less likely, or even, invented, interpretation, solely because that substitute does not support fake (much like "anything BUT an armadillo):

They progress from more simple ones (almost like reading tubes) toward some that are not the normal shape for storage containers. Not even the fanciest apothecary jars look like these except ones used for very expensive and precious items like Balsam, myrhh (a word they used for several different resins), or expensive perfumes or ointments. A few of them look like containers that would be specially crafted for a king and would not be seen outside the circle of nobility."
You are correct, JKP: They look nothing like apothecary jars. But no, not even like any made for "very expensive and precious items", unless you have found something no one else yet has. What they do look like is modern optical devices.
