Vases have been with us from the first civilisations until now. There are many types of vases and many of the names have stuck from e.g. ancient Greek. Examples include: Hydria, amphorae, kylix, kelebe, loutroporos, volute krater, column krater, bell krater, calyx krater, oenochoe, lagynos, psykter, stamnos, lecythus, pithos, askos, cantharus, kiathos, rhyton, olphe, pyxis, alabastron, and skyphos.
