Greek pottery became a valuable tool to study Greek history as Greek paintings and structures did not survive as well as ancient Greek pottery. The paintings on Greek pottery have provided the majority of what we know about ancient Greek life and art.

Vases were mostly functional, made to be used, not just admired. They were used in every aspect of daily life: for storage, carrying, mixing, serving, drinking and as cosmetic and perfume containers.

The shape and size of the pot offered a common sense guide to its use, with the larger pots used to carry and store more common liquids needed in large quantities, and smaller vessels to hold rarer or more costly substances used in smaller quantities. Narrow necked pots held liquids to be poured in a slow stream, and wide neck for mixing and more rapid pouring.

Also the décor on the pot often provided clues to it’s use. For example make up containers often had scenes or women holding mirrors.

ODE ON A GRECIAN URNBy

John Keats

Thou still unravished bride of quietness,       Thou foster child of silence and slow time, Sylvan historian, who canst thus express       A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme: What leaf-fringed legend haunts about thy shape       Of deities or mortals, or of both,       In Tempe or the dales of Arcady? What men or gods are these? What maidens loath?       What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?       What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?

Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard       Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on; Not to the sensual ear, but, more endeared,       Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone. Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave       Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare;             Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss, Though winning near the goal---yet, do not grieve;       She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss             Forever wilt thou love, and she be fair!

Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed       Your leaves, nor ever bid the Spring adieu; And, happy melodist, unwearied,       Forever piping songs forever new;

More happy love! more happy, happy love!       Forever warm and still to be enjoyed,             Forever

panting, and forever young; All breathing human passion far above,       That leaves a heart high-sorrowful and cloyed,             A burning forehead, and a parching tongue.

Who are these coming to the sacrifice?       To what green altar, O mysterious priest, Lead'st thou that heifer lowing at the skies,       And all her silken flanks with garlands dressed? What little town by river or sea shore,       Or mountain-built with peaceful citadel,             Is emptied of this folk, this pious morn? And, little town, thy streets for evermore       Will silent be; and not a soul to tell             Why thou art desolate, can e'er return.

O Attic shape! Fair attitude! with brede       Of marble men and maidens overwrought, With forest branches and the trodden weed;       Thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thought As doth eternity. Cold Pastoral!       When old age shall this generation waste,             Thou shall remain, in midst of other woe Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say’’st,       "Beauty is truth, truth beauty"---that is all             Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
