A modern, dual-handled pottery vase.

Amphora-shaped vases have a rich history dating back to ancient Greece, where they were primarily used for storing and transporting goods such as wine, oil, and grains. These vessels were characterized by their distinctive elongated bodies, narrow necks, and two handles, making them practical for carrying and pouring. Over time, the amphora shape has been adapted and reinterpreted by various cultures and artists, evolving into decorative pieces that showcase artistic skill and craftsmanship.

In the realm of pottery, the use of drip glaze techniques adds another layer of artistry and uniqueness to the amphora form. Drip glazes, often achieved through layering different glazes and allowing them to flow and blend during the firing process, create dynamic and visually striking effects. The combination of the classic amphora shape with the unpredictable nature of drip glazes results in one-of-a-kind pieces that capture the beauty of both form and surface.
