Toilets. That’s what will last. Yes, they’ll crack into multiple pieces, but they’re thick enough to remain as pieces rather than grind down to sand, and there’s lots of them.
The cockroaches will probably believe them to be religious artifacts. Or (as in a story I once read), forges to heat metals.
