Kyathos

{{Commons category|Kyathoi}} thumb|200px|An example of a kyathos '''Kyathos''' ({{langx|grc|κύαθος}}, {{Transliteration|grc|ISO|kúathos}}) is the name given in modern terminology to a type of painted ancient Greek vase 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".<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>
