Greek for ὑδρία, it is an ancient Greek ceramic container primarily used for storing and transporting water. The characteristic of this ceramic is that it has three handles: two horizontal side handles for lifting the container, and a vertical rear handle for pouring the contents. Around 550 BC, a hidria was produced in the Attica region, depicting scenes of Dionysus, Ariadne, and Poseidon. This artwork is currently housed in the Paul Getty Museum. This ancient Greek ceramic work not only showcases the craftsmanship of the time, but also reflects Greek mythology and religious beliefs.

It is a type of ancient Greek pottery, named after the Greek word "ἄλαβ στρον", referring to an elongated container with a rounded bottom and a lid at the mouth. The name and shape may originate from Egypt and have the same name as the stone used to make this container. It is usually used to store oils, especially perfume used by women after bathing. This specific Alabasteron was produced in the Attica region and can be traced back to 490 to 470 BC. The scene depicted on the container is a person holding a bow and arrow and an axe, with palm trees in the background. Currently housed in the Paul Getty Museum. It is an important cultural relic for studying the daily life and artistic style of ancient Greece.
