That's a small amphora meant for household and table use. You can tell by the size of the handles and the base to stand on. The really really large ones for transport and storage have a pointed base and wider mouths.

( I used to collect museum replicas of Greek antiquities. ) Most of the big decorative urns you see in collections are funerary urns , big urns to bury bones in.
