The word amphoriskos, Greek for 'small amphora', refers in the Graeco-Roman world to the shape of the object, a miniature version of the two-handled metal or ceramic vessels that contained oil or wine. Core-formed glass was made by dipping a removable core that gives the vessel its shape into a molten glass mixture. -
