An oenochoe is a type of ancient Greek pottery used primarily for pouring wine. It typically features a rounded body, a single handle, and a spout, making it easy to serve liquids. Oenochoai were often made from clay and decorated with various designs, reflecting the artistic styles of their time. These vessels were commonly used during symposia, which were social gatherings for drinking and discussion among men in ancient Greece. The oenochoe played a significant role in these events, as it allowed for the easy distribution of wine, a central element of Greek culture and hospitality.
