What is the difference between a pelike and an amphora?
1 Answer
The difference between a pelike and an amphora is that one vessel is a specific type of the other. An amphora is a vessel with a tapered, pointed bottom and a narrow, elongated neck, often flanked by arched handles. A pelike is an amphora with its widest point close to the bottom, giving it a rotund appearance. Find a diverse assortment of amphoras and pelikes on 1stDibs.
