Oinochoe - Oinochoe (English spelling)

Japanese: オイノコエ - おいのこえ(英語表記)oinochoe
Oinochoe - Oinochoe (English spelling)

A type of Greek pottery. It means "wine pourer." It is a vessel for pouring wine from a krater into a cup. It has a circular or trefoil-shaped rim, a bulging body, and a large vertical handle that protrudes from the rim and reaches the neck or body. It was widely used from the early Greek period to the end of the period, and as such there is a great variety in its shape, but basically there are two types: one with a slightly narrow neck and wide shoulders, and one with a continuous curve from the neck to the body. There are also some variations, such as a body shaped like a human face or a thin, cylindrical shape like a lekythos.
