Oinochoe |
Oinochoe is a jug for pouring wine. This name is from
"oinos" means wine and "cheo" means
pouring. This name must be applied for this shape from
the literary evidence.
There are many varieties in oinochoe. "Olpe"
is the oldest and has a S shaped profile from the lip
to the foot. "Oinochoe type 1" has a trefoil mouth and a high vertical
handles and "Oinochoe type
2" has a lower handle. Type 3 is also called
"Chous" and has a squat
body. There are some many other shape from the type
4 to the type 10.
Oinochoe was produced from the beginning of the black-figure
to the end of the red-figure, though the preferred shape
is differed from the period.
figured scene is usually arranged on the paneled picture
on the body. |

Olpe |
S shape profile from the flat lip to the foot and a
vertical handle. This shape is the oldest oinochoe in
the Attic black-figure and produced from the beginning
of it to the end of the sixth century though there is
no example painted by the red-figure. It was maybe developed
into the "Oinochoe type 5a" with thicker lip, since some late
olpe has a shape similar to the type 5.
The figured scene is arranged on the body as a paneled
picture. Cf. Missisipi1977.3.76 (Perseus
Project).
Dimensions: height 20cm |

Oinochoe type 1 |
Oval body with a offset neck, a trefoil mouth and a
high handle. This shape was produced from the beginning
of the black-figure to slightly before the end of the
red-figure.
Normally, the ornament is only done on the body, though
there are some examples in black-figure with a decoration
on the neck. Some late oinochoe have a white ground
body. Since this shape has a origin in the bronze vessel,
a relief ornament of human head is attached on the connection
between the handle and the mouth. Red-figured oinochoe
usually has a panel on the body and sometimes a palmette
pattern on the connection. Cf. Harvard 1954.142 (Perseus
Project).
Dimensions: height 20-30cm |
|
Oinochoe type 2 |

Project).
The way of the decoration is usually same as the type
1, also there are some jug with white ground.

Chous |

the foot, a trefoil mouth and a low handle. The name
"Chous" is from the word "cheo"

which celebrate the harvest of wine.
The jug with the black-figure is called type 3 and produced
after the middle of the sixth century. Chous was preferred
after the middle of the fifth century. Some of them
are smaller than 10cm and probably used as a offering
for the tomb of a child.
The figured scene is arranged on the body as a panel
picture and some chous have figures of children. Cf.

Project).
