Thanks Koen, Marco.
According to Aristotle the nutrients in the body fluids are escaping through the blood vessel walls as does water through the walls of unglazed porous earthen vessels. In a possible anatomy context of this section of the VMs - porous clay pipes may represent blood vessels. This is just a thought - I am not asking anybody to agree or disagree.
The article found by Helmut refers to the object from the c1500 manuscript as porous clay pipes.
