Oinochoai
Oinochoe: one handled jug.
The mouth may be trefoil (as types 1,2,3 above), round or beaked (type 7 and 10 above); the body slim, squat, truncated or angular. Scholars distinguish many types; of these five are shown here.
The earliest
of the common pouring vases in Athenian black-figure is the olpe, its
profile from lip to foot being a flat S, usually with a broad trefoil mouth,
sometimes straight, and with a high-swung handle.
