What is a greek or roman bottle?
There were very few small hand held, portable "bottles" at the time as they were determined not to be cost effective given the very little volume they would hold. Instead, an "Amphora" (Plural: amphorae) was used to transport fluids. An amphora was similar to the size of a modern day flower vase with handles on either side. Drinkable fluid from an amphora would be poured into a small "Kylix" which is the most direct equivalent to a small drinking cup.

Why was the amphora made in ancient Greece?
the word Amphora is Latin derived from the Greek word Amphiphoreus which is a compound word refering to the two carrying handles.

What were amphora's used for?
Traditionally not many colours were used on Amphora. I myself only study Ancient Greek Amphora, so i cant speak for other eras and types of Amphora. There were two main forms of decoration on Ancient Greek Amphora. Red Figure and Black Figure. The main two colours of both these styles were anthenian clay red and black. Sometimes paint was added onto the amphora after it has been fired, but these were never very bright. For information on how black/red figure was achieved you will have to look on wikipedia (because I'm not a potter). But bassicaly the main colours were red, black and sometimes white.

What is amphora pottery?
ancient vessel form used as a storage jar and one of the principal vessel shapes in Greek pottery, a two-handled pot with a neck narrower than the body. There are two types of amphora: the neck amphora, in which the neck meets the body at a sharp angle; and the one-piece amphora, in which the neck and body form a continuous curve. The first is common from the Geometric period (c. 900 bc) to the decline of Greek pottery; the second appeared in the 7th century bc. The height of amphorae varies from large Geometric vases of 5 feet (1.5 metres) to examples of 12 inches (30 centimetres) or even smaller (the smallest are called amphoriskoi). The average normal height is about 18 inches (45 centimetres). Amphorae, which survive in great numbers, were used as storage and transport vessels for olives, cereal, oil, and wine (the wine amphora was a standard Attic measure of about 41 quarts [39 litres]) and, in outsize form, for funerals and as grave markers. Wide-mouthed, painted amphorae were used as decanters and were given as prizes* http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/21654/amphora
