Minoan Vasiliki Ware long spouted "teapots",
Vasiliki 2300-1900 BC
Vasiliki pottery is a distinctive style from the Minoan civilization, primarily associated with the Early Minoan period (circa 2600–2000 BCE) on Crete. The teapots or jugs with elongated spouts are among the most notable forms in this category.
The ‘teapot’ has a flattened globular body, a vertical rim, a ring base and a large spout that starts from the shoulder and ends in a wide mouth. A perpendicular round handle starts from the middle of the wall and ends at the shoulder of the vessel, under the rim.
