Kyathos ( grc, κύαθος, ) is the name given in
modern terminology to a type of
painted ancient Greek vase
Ancient Greek pottery, due to its relative durability, comprises a large part of the archaeological record of ancient Greece, and since there is so much of it (over 100,000 painted vases are recorded in the Corpus vasorum antiquorum), it has exe ...
with a tall, round, slightly tapering bowl and a single, flat, long, looping handle. Its closest modern parallel would be a
ladle. "The kyathos has a graceful shape resembling a teacup, though a bit larger, with a high looped, flat-strap or oval handle… The terracotta kyathos was used as a ladle for dipping diluted wine from a
wine mixer".
