Amphora, ancient vessel form used as a storage jar and one of the principal vessel shapes in Greek pottery, a two-handled pot with a neck narrower than the body. By placing one hand on the neck of the amphora and the other under its pointed bottom, the person carrying the amphora could control the container, when contents were to be poured into another vessel. The pointed bottoms of the amphorae made them easy to stack in dense layers in the holds of ships.
