Oinochoe

3D Model

The Greek oinochoe is a type of vessel used in ancient Greece for pouring wine. It is characterised by a slender shape with a globular or jug-shaped body, a wide pouring spout and a wide handle, and ceramic is the most common material used. It was used as a container for pouring wine during banquets or ceremonies, but could also be used as a votive or funerary object, offered to the gods or buried with the deceased.
