Best Answer

There are several reasons: first of all, hygene was improving at the turn of the century and many people had begun to brush their teeth (maybe not all 1,600 people on board, but at least those in the first and second class). Second, toothpaste was usually held in special porcelain jars, and thirdly, they were collectables (especially the lids, which were either hand-painted, or transfer-printed, for thre cheaper version).
