Vases are made with the same general ideas. A vase has an open top and a thin neck which leads down to the distinguishable body. The body of the vase extends out further than any other part. The vase narrows again at the base or foot. Some vases may have handles attached to make them easier to carry, or simply for added decoration. The shapes of vases have evolved from the standard design and have become their own form of
art. Ancient
Greeks used vases to depict scenes from their time, similar to ancient carvings found on walls.
