Already used in the pre-Hellenic period, examples are known both in metal and in terracotta and in the great variety of shapes that this vase has assumed, crossing the geometric and orientalizing, to reach the Attic black figures and at the end of the red figures. The oinochoe is characterized by an oval body, more or less elongated, with a single handle, and has a variable height from 20 to 40 cm .. [source wikipedia]
