Greek pottery was used for everyday things, such as food and wine/water storage, and drinking vessals (kylix), so everyone had them. Ancient Greek pottery is measured in peroids of the style of art depicted on the pottery, rather than the style (amphora, kylix, etc). The periods of Greek pottery are: Protogeometric, Geometric, Orientalizing, Black Figure, Red Figure, and Hellenistic. The pottery gives archeologists information on the people that were producing it, what was important in their culture (for example, many of the geometric pottery depicted funerals, while many of the red and black figure pottery depicted mythology), and what other cultures influenced them.

in greece itself or beyond? Outside of Greece, greek pottery often was of better quality than the pottery that could be produced by 'natives', and thus it was something for the rich. Within greece, i assume it was something for everybody to enjoy (allthough not all of the same quality).
