These pots were made from clay and often featured scenes from mythology, daily life, and athletic competitions. The pottery styles varied over time, with notable types including black-figure and red-figure techniques, which determined how the images were painted on the surface. Greek pottery served various purposes, such as storage, cooking, and serving food and drink. Many pieces, like amphorae and kraters, were used in rituals and celebrations.
