This practice was common at social gatherings and banquets, known as symposia, as the Greeks rarely drank pure wine, considering it too strong. Mixing with water moderated the potency of the wine and was a socially accepted custom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also called crater or <em>cratera<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Characteristics:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol style=\"padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<li><strong>Design and shape<\/strong>: The krateres had a wide opening at the top to facilitate mixing and access, unlike the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ceramicartis.com\/en\/greek-pitcher\/\">pitchers<\/a><\/strong> or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ceramicartis.com\/en\/greek-amphora-ancient-ceramics\/\">amphorae<\/a><\/strong> whose mouth was smaller and had greater height and capacity.<br>Their base was stable to support the weight of the wine and water. There were several styles, such as the bell jar, with a rounded body, and the column jar, which had vertical handles. I will explain the differences below.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Decoration<\/strong>: These vessels were notable for their intricate decorations, often depicting mythological, historical or everyday scenes. These images offer valuable insights into the culture, beliefs and social practices of ancient Greece. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Material<\/strong>: Most were made of ceramic, although examples are also found in metals such as bronze. Ceramic was the most common material due to its availability and ease of molding and decoration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Social and cultural function<\/strong>: The krater was a central element in the symposiums, where Greek men gathered to drink, discuss and enjoy entertainment such as music and poetry. The krater, filled with mixed wine, was placed in the center of the room so that attendees could help themselves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Archaeological significance<\/strong>: These cups are important to archaeologists and historians because they provide information about the ceramic techniques, artistic traditions and social life of ancient Greece.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see
