'''Kyathos''' ({{langx|grc|κύαθος}}, {{Transliteration|grc|ISO|kúathos}}) is the name given in [modern terminology](/source/Typology_of_Greek_vase_shapes) to a type of [painted](/source/Ancient_Greek_vase_painting) [ancient Greek vase](/source/Pottery_of_ancient_Greece) with a tall, round, slightly tapering bowl and a single, flat, long, looping handle. Its closest modern parallel would be a [ladle](/source/ladle_(spoon)). "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](/source/Krater)".<ref name=Schreiber>{{cite book |last1=Schreiber |first1=Toby |title=Athenian Vase Construction: A Potter's Analysis |date=1999 |publisher=Getty Publications |isbn=0-89236-465-3 |page=145 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2NJVAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA145 |accessdate=Sep 1, 2020}}</ref>
