Description: Greek amphorae, the large storage vessels used in ancient Greece, typically had pointed or rounded bottoms for a few key reasons.stability in and during transport , the pointed or rounded shape allowed the amphora to be easily secured upright or partially buried in the hold of ships or the floors of storage facilities . this prevented the containers from being easily knocked over during transport.efficient storage. the tapered shape allowed amphorae to be stacked efficiently , maximizing the use of limited storage space on ships in warehouses or in the home. the pointed bases allowed them to be nested together compactly.pouring and access. the pointed bottom kept the contents of the amphora raised off the surface, making it easier to pour out the last drops of the liquid contents, whether wine, olive oil or other goods. aerodynamics when carried or rolled the tapered shape provided better aerodynamics and reduced friction compared to flat bottomed container. this made the heavy amphorae easier to transport over long distance no idea about this as age as there is not one like it anywhere on ebay or online I SHIP FASTI SHIP WORLD WIDEI SHIP WITH TRACKINGI SHIP IN A BOXI SHIP WITH BUBBLE WRAPI WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN ITEM SHIPSI WILL SEND YOU A TRACKING NUMBERI DO COMBINE SHIPPINGANY QUESTION PLEASE ASKTHANK YOU FOR VISITING MY STORE OF UNIQUE AND HARD TO FIND COLLECTIBLES AND ANTIQUES BIN ADZ
