What is a Greek vase called?
1 Answer
Greek vases go by a number of names — scholars tasked with naming Greek pottery have done so over the years by studying Greek and Latin literature as well as trying to uncover names based on inscriptions on the vessels themselves. Some of the names used today — such as pelike, hydria, stamnos or amphora for storage vessels — according to current research, may in fact not be the names that were used in antiquity. Find Greek vases and other Greek pottery from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
