Reference for Shabbat 117:2

איתמר נמי אמר ר' יוסי בר' חנינא הואיל וראוי להקישו על גבי חרס ר' יוחנן אמר הואיל וראוי לגמע בו מים לתינוק

It was stated likewise: R. Jose son of R. Hanina said: [The reason is] because they are fit for beating on an earthen utensil. R. Johanan said: Because they are fit for giving a child a drink of water therein. Now, does not R. Johanan require [that it shall be fit for] a usage of its original nature?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Where a utensil is damaged or divided, does not R. Johanan hold that in order to remain unclean or susceptible to defilement it must still be fit for the same usage as before, it being insufficient that it shall merely be fit for some purpose? ');">³</span>
