They come in many different shapes and forms, with variations in profile, mouth-type and handle-form. They functioned as pouring vessels for wine and have taken their name from the Greek words “oinos” (wine) and “cheo” (I pour). Miniature versions were often placed in children’s graves., Partly covered with a coating., H. 11.8 cm (incl. handle), W. 6.8 cm., Black-glazed, Wikander, Örjan (1981) "The Comparative Collection: Early Antique Collecting in Sweden" in Medelhavsmuseet Bulletin no 16 (1981) p. 47-57.FörvärvadStatens Historiska museumhttp://libris.kb.se/bib/3762418http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-EM/name/1021079http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/objekt/html/3104124http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/objekt/xml/3104124http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/objekt/rdf/3104124
