How does a Pelike vase differ from a Krater vase?

A Pelike vase is typically characterized by its tall, slender form and a narrow neck, often used for storing oils or wines, and features two handles on the sides. In contrast, a Krater vase is wider and has a more pronounced bowl shape, designed primarily for mixing wine with water during symposia, and usually has a larger mouth and broader body. Both are important in ancient Greek pottery but serve different practical functions and aesthetic styles.
