Amphora or Amphoreas in greek means the container that can be transported from two sides. Amphi = (two sides) + foreas (the transported "small" container or big cup). This is why it always has 2 handles.
I think the English subtitles could use another pass. At around the two minute mark they desync from the video, and some terms are spelled incorrectly. the [Bure] should be a bier, and slipware is misspelled as slip wear.
I wish they'd put glass around it, to protect it from people touching or even worse. Alternatively you can return it back to Greece and they'll take very good care of it
Both these commentators have such soothing voices

Slipware is correct.
