- Amphora - An ancient form of storage jar and one of the principal vessel shapes in Greek pottery, an amphora is a two-handled pot with a neck narrower than the body. In ancient times they were used as storage and transport vessels for olives, cereal, oil, and wine. The shape has continued to be used in ceramics to the present time.
