The _dinos_ was another form of the wine vessel, open-mouthed, round in body and base, and allied to the krater. The _chytrai_ were warming-pots with two handles. The _tripous_, or three-footed pot, was employed in a similar manner. The _oinochoe_, in the shape most frequently occurring, resembled a jug with a lip either round or pinched in at the sides, and with a handle rising above the orifice. The oinochoe was used in serving the guests from the krater. [Illustration: Fig. 178.--Prochoos.] The _prochoos_ (Figs. 178 and 179) was also a jug, either with or without a handle, for either water or wine. The _olpe_ (Fig. 180) belongs to the same class. The _aryballos_ (Fig. 165) was round or bladder-shaped and short-necked, and bore a close resemblance to one of the toilet vases of the Egyptians. The _arystichos_ was also used for serving from the krater, a usage which gave rise to several other shapes. Of the cups designed for the same purpose, the _kotylos_ may be mentioned, although its shape is doubtful. The _kyathos_ (Fig. 181), or ladle, belongs to the same class. [Illustration: Fig. 179.--Prochoos.] The drinking-cups were of many shapes and assumed great elegance of form. The several varieties cannot now be specified by description. The _skyphos_ was the generic name applied also to a few special shapes now unknown. The _kantharos_ (Fig. 182) was wide, somewhat shallow, with two handles rising well above the lip, and either with or without a stem. The _kylix_ (Fig. 183) was the cup most generally used, and varied in shape. In the earliest specimens it has a long stem, two handles, and is shallow and wide. The later forms are wider, and shorter in the stem, which ultimately disappears entirely. The _phiale_ was the religious counterpart of the kylix. [Illustration: Fig. 180.--Olpe.] The _kanoun_, _diskos_, and _pinax_ were for table use, the two latter corresponding with our plates, with the exception that the diskos stood upon a stem or foot. Of the vessels named those deserving closest attention, as most frequently presenting themselves, are the kylix, oinochoe, krater, aryballos, kyathos, lekythos, rhyton, hydria, amphora, and pithos. The kylix is to be specially commended for its beauty of shape, and its decoration with red figures exemplifies some of the best art of Greece.
