Amphora

The amphora icon represents ancient pottery and ceramic vessels in cultural heritage and museum applications. Depicting the distinctive two-handled jar shape of classical amphora, this archaeological symbol has become the standard for indicating ancient artifacts, pottery collections, and cultural heritage items in museum management and historical documentation systems.

In modern platforms like museum collection databases or archaeological inventory software, you'll see this icon when users need to catalog ancient pottery or manage cultural artifacts. It appears in heritage management interfaces during artifact classification, or in educational applications where curators need to organize historical collections and provide cultural context for ancient civilizations and archaeological discoveries.

From a cultural preservation perspective, the amphora design communicates more than just 'old container' - it specifically indicates historical significance and archaeological value that requires specialized handling and cultural context. This heritage emphasis helps in museum workflows where users need to distinguish between general objects and culturally significant artifacts requiring preservation protocols and scholarly documentation.

Amphora is one of 1,655 icons in Lucide, made by Lucide Contributors and released under ISC. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds AmphoraIcon to components/icons/lucide-amphora.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed AmphoraIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Yes, if your project has lucide-react: Amphora is `AmphoraIcon` there, used as <AmphoraIcon />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Amphora icon, or any of 1,655 Lucide icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Amphora is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Amphora", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. AmphoraIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <AmphoraIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. ISC allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: ISC only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Lucide, Lucide Contributors and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
