EASTERN GREEK MEGARIAN AMPHORA 5th-3rd century BC A terracotta vessel with squat body, pedestal foot, waisted neck, chamfered rim and two strap handles to the shoulder; radiating white strokes to the neck and shoulder, with white swags to the broad faces of the neck. 687 grams, 19.5cm (7 3/4"). Fair condition, repaired. Provenance From an important private London collection; formed in the 1970s and 1980s. Footnotes The word amphora comes from the Greek "amphiphero" and means "to carry on both sides". They were used in vast numbers for the transport and storage of various products, both liquid and dry, but mostly for wine.This example is known as a neck amphora, in which the neck and body meet at a sharp angle. The other type is the one-piece amphora, in which the neck and body form a continuous curve. Neck amphorae were commonly used in the early history of ancient Greece, but were gradually replaced by the one-piece type from around the 7th century BC onwards.
