Reference: ZF1390

Oinochoe. Bronze. Possibly Italy, 19th century. An oenochoe, oinochoe, oinochoe or oenochoe is a vessel used to draw wine from a krater (where it was stored) before serving in ancient Greece. Its heyday was during the Geometric period and various types are distinguished according to the shape of the mouth and the belly. Most Greek oenochoes were made of terracotta, but there are also some made of precious metals, presumably for the social classes that could afford them, although very few have survived. The present example seems to be inspired by ancient works (compare one in the Metropolitan Museum from around 460 BC with inventory number 1970.11.1 and another in the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest with inventory number 66.142.A).
