Terracotta hydria: kalpis (water jar)

Kalpis is an ancient Greek pottery vessel used for holding liquids. It has a distinctive shape, with a narrow neck and a bulbous body, and often features decorative handles on either side. Kalpides (plural of kalpis) were commonly used to store and serve water, wine, or other liquids in both everyday and ceremonial contexts. They were made from a variety of materials including terracotta, bronze, and silver, and were often decorated with intricate designs or scenes from Greek mythology. The kalpis is one of many types of ancient Greek pottery vessels that provide insight into the artistic, cultural, and practical aspects of daily life in ancient Greece.

Hydria is a form of Greek pottery from between the late Geometric period (7th century BC) and the Hellenistic period (3rd century BC). The etymology of the word hydria was first noted when it was stamped on a hydria itself, its direct translation meaning 'jug'. It is a type of water-carrying vessel, but it had many other purposes. As time progressed the hydria developed into many forms, some of which were smaller or of a different material. These variants were decorated with detailed figures to represent Greek mythological stories, as well as scenes of daily life, providing extensive insight into Ancient Greek culture and society
