The ancient Greeks treated dishes with trepidation. It was almost sacred to them. Each of the rich number of vessels produced at that time corresponded to the different preferences of the inhabitants of Ancient Greece. Below we will give an example of 20 main types of vessels that were used throughout the territory of the then existing state.

1. Kilik. This type of vessel was made from both ceramic materials and metal. It was used primarily for drinking. The shape of the dish is open, the appearance is a flat bowl on a leg. The leg is small, thin, sometimes elongated. The kylixes had two handles.

2. Crater. This vessel was made with a wide neck. The dishes were quite spacious. Craters were used to mix ancient Greek strong wines and water. Like kyliks, they had two handles located on the sides.

3. Hydria. To produce this type of vessel, ceramics were required. Sometimes you could find hydria made of metal. Such dishes were shaped like a wide vessel with an equally wide neck. The hydrias had two handles located horizontally (there were hydrias with one handle, but with a vertical arrangement). The hydria's handles are located between the rim and the shoulders. Some kind of painting was often applied to the surface of such a vessel. The hydria container was filled with a variety of drinks.

4. Psykter. This vessel has a high cylindrical stem. Due to this design, the psikter could easily be installed inside other dishes. Its container was filled with cold water or ice. The psykter was used as a kind of refrigerator for drinks.

5. Kalpida. We can say that this is a kind of water jug. Often the kalpida became an urn, that is, a vessel within which the ashes of the deceased were preserved for a long time.

6. Oinochoya. The original shape of this jug, made with a spout, made it possible to fill the vessel with various liquids, mainly wine. Three drains provided near the neck helped fill the container of glasses and cups very quickly.

7. Amphora. This vessel has an oval shape. For ease of holding the utensils, it had two handles. Both wine and oil were stored in amphorae. By analogy with kalpida, the ashes of the deceased were preserved in them. The amphora was also used as a voting vessel. Its volume is 26.3 liters, which allowed the ancient Greeks and Romans to measure the amount of liquid. The amphora was made from metals: bronze and silver, wood and glass.

8. Pelika. A vessel whose expansion of shape can be traced from top to bottom. Along the edges there are two vertical handles. Small volumes of both bulk and liquid substances were stored in pelicas.

9. Panathenaic amphora. As the name suggests, it was made in Athens. The first mention of this type of vessel dates back to 566 BC. These amphoras are black-figured, special, often decorated with stereotypical painting. Their container was filled with oil, after which the amphora was awarded to the winner of the Panathenaic competition as a very valuable prize. By the way, this is where the custom of awarding athletes with cups came from.

10. Lutrofor. This type of ancient Greek vessel had a high body. At the same time, it had a narrow neck, albeit a very long one. A wide rim and two handles decorated the appearance of the lutrofor. The wedding ritual involved washing the bride with water taken from a vessel. At the same time, along with the death of the bride, the lutrophor was placed in the grave of the deceased. A little later, almost all graves were decorated with such a vessel.

11. Stamnos. It has a short neck with a very wide opening. There were two horizontal handles along the edges of the vessel. Wine was stored in stamnos.

12. Ariball. A small vessel that helped gymnasts store oil in it. It was worn on a belt in a pouch. The aryballa container was also used to fill it with perfume ointments.

13. Alabaster. It has an oblong shape with rounded ends at the bottom of the vessel. The flat neck and special eyelet, which served as the basis for hanging the dishes, become its main features. Alabaster was made from alabaster. The surface of the vessel was decorated with ornaments. Alabaster was also made from baked clay, glass and metal. Like Aryball, it can be used to contain aromatic ointments.

14. Pyxis. Round or oval shaped container. Jewelry was kept inside it. Also, the capacity of the pyxida made it possible to store all kinds of ointments and spices in it. It was made of wood and gold, or ivory.

15. Lekythos. Oil was stored in it. As its appearance improved, the lekythos transformed from a cone-shaped vessel to a cylinder-shaped vessel. There is a vertical handle on one side. Lekythos is notable for its narrow neck. It was used during the funeral ritual.

16. Skithos. Used for drinking. Shape: bowl. There are two horizontal handles. Volume - 0.27 l. The ancient Greeks and Romans used a skyphos to measure the amount of liquid.

17. Kiaf. A kind of scoop that has a long handle that has a curved shape. The vessel is presented in the shape of a bowl and is installed on a flat surface using a leg. Volume - 0.045 l. The ancient Greeks used it to measure the amount of liquid or granular substance.
