Vase Shapes Stamnos Stamnos is probably another name for a large amphora. Krater The word krater means "mixing-bowl," and the vase was used for mixing wine with water. (The Greeks did not drink their wine "neat".) The amphora a two-handled vase used for storage and transport

Kylix This drinking-cup is sometimes called the "symposium-vase," since it appears often in vase-representations of symposia Psykter The word psykter means "cooler," and it was used for cooling wine: the psykter was placed in a krater which had been filled with cooled water, and the cooling liquid would surround the psykter and cool the wine. Kantharos This type of drinking-cup is often seen held by Dionysus in representations on vases

vase-representations of women drawing water at the fountain-house. Oinochoe This vase is a kind of ladle or small pitcher used for pouring wine from the krater into a drinking-cup. The word oinochoe means "wine-pourer." Hydria The name of this three-handled vase is derived from the Greek word for water. Hydriai were used for drawing water, as ballot-boxes, and also as urns to hold the ashes of the dead. They are commonly seen in vase-representations of women drawing water at the fountain-house. Loutrophoros The name of this vase means "carrier of washing-water", and the vase was used only in ritual contexts: at weddings, to carry the water for the bridal bath; in funerals, to carry the water for washing the corpse of unmarried persons and to mark their graves. Vases of this shape are commonly decorated with scenes of mourners or wedding processions.

Pyxis This vase was a round box with a cover used to hold cosmetics. Lekythos This vase was a flask used for toilet oils, perfume, or condiments, and also appears in funerary contexts, where it was used to pour libations for the dead or was left on the grave as an offering. Lebes Gamikos This vase-type has three pieces: a bowl with handles, a lid (not shown here), and a stand. The term means "marriage bowl,“ and the vase was used for the same purpose as the loutrophoros in wedding rituals—to bring water for the bridal bath. Many of these vases are decorated with scenes depicting wedding preparations or wedding processions.

Aryballos This vase was a small flask with a narrow neck used to hold and pour oil; it is often shown in Attic vase painting as being suspended from the wrist of an athlete or looped by a string and hung on the wall. Alabastron This vase was an elongated flask with a narrow neck used to contain oil. Like the aryballos, it was sometimes suspended from an athlete's wrist or from a peg on the wall
