What is the difference between a vase and an amphora?
1 Answer
The difference between a vase and an amphora comes down to specificity. An amphora is a vessel that features arched handles positioned on either side of its neck. A vase is any decorative container that can be used to hold a flower arrangement. Amphoras can be used as vases, but not all vases are amphoras. Explore an assortment of vases and vessels on 1stDibs.
