Hydria
The Hydria is one of the many forms of Greek pottery that existed between the Late Geometric Period (7th century BC) and the Hellenistic period (3rd century BC). It is a ceramic pot utilised for the collection of water. However, it served alternative purposes such acting as a ballet box, a funerary urn and a prize. The etymology of the word Hydria was first noted when it was stamped on a Hydria itself, its direct translation meaning ‘jug’.
