Cretan sharp bottom Amphora

Our Greek pottery items are handmade in Greece in a small family
workshop using natural quality materials, superb craftsmanship and
attention to detail. They are licensed and modeled after museum
pieces from all over the world and bear the lead seal of authenticity.

This amphora features a realistic dolphin covering most of its surface
and delicate marine motives. Probably most of these large amphorae
were made for the transport and storage of wine, though many were
used for oil, preserved fish, pitch and other liquid substances, including
water.
About 1500 B.C., Archaelogical Museum of Heraklion, Greece.
