times classification oenochoe wine pourer culture cross cultural in mediterranean civilizations an oenochoe also spelled oinochoe ancient greek οἰνοχόη from ancient greek οἶνος oînos wine and ancient greek χέω khéō lit i pour sense wine pourer pl oinochoai neo latin oenochoë pl oenochoae english pl oenochoes or oinochoes is a wine jug and a key form of ancient greek pottery intermediate between a pithos large storage vessel or amphora transport vessel and individual cups or bowls it held fluid for several persons temporarily until it could be poured the term oinos linear b wo no appears in mycenaean greek but not the compound the characteristic form was popular throughout the bronze age especially at prehistoric troy in classical times for the most part the term oinochoe implied the distribution of wine as the word began to diversify in meaning the shape became a more important identifier than the word the oinochoe could pour any fluid not just wine the american english word pitcher is perhaps the closest in function beazley s ten types edit there are many different forms of oenochoae sir john beazley distinguished ten types the earliest is the olpe ancient greek ὀλπή romanized olpḗ with no distinct shoulder and usually a handle rising above the lip the type 8 oenochoe is what one would call a mug with no single pouring point and a slightly curved profile the chous χοῦς pl χόες choes was a squat rounded form with trefoil mouth small examples with scenes of children as in the example illustrated were placed in the graves of children 1 characteristics of oenochoae edit oenochoae may be decorated or undecorated 2 they typically have only one handle which may be opposite a trefoil mouth and pouring spout at its most distinct development the trefoil mouth offers three alternative directions of pouring one opposite the handle and two to the side an advantage at a crowded table not afforded by english pitchers their size also varies considerably most at up to 25 centimetres 9 8 in tall could be comfortably held and poured with one hand but there are much larger examples most greek oenochoae were in terracotta but oenochoae of precious metals were not unknown presumably among elements of society that could afford them though but few have survived 3 large versions in stone were sometimes used as grave markers often carved with reliefs in pottery some oinochoai are plastic with the body formed as sculpture usually one or more human heads prehistoric oenochoae were at first hand made unpolished and undecorated low economy oenochoae remained so but gradually incised bands with simple motifs such as zig zags and spirals or burnished monochrome surfaces became common in the late bronze age the incised bands were painted for a more striking surface and from then on the greek oinochoai followed the traditional course of development for greek decoration among the higher quality pots quite a few masterpieces have survived gallery of
