Oenochoe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Oenochoes)
An oenochoe, also spelled oinochoe, (Ancient Greek: οἰνοχόη) is a wine jug and a key form of Greek pottery. There are many different forms of oenochoe. The earliest is the olpe (ὀλπή) and has an S-shaped profile from head to foot.
Oenochoai may be decorated or undecorated.[1] Oenochoai typically have only one handle at the back and may include a trefoil pouring spout.
The Greek oenochoe was normally of painted terracotta pottery but metal oenochoai are also found.
