Psykter

A Psykter was a wine cooler with a broad bulbous body, a tall cylindrcal stem, and a short neck. Earlier psykters had no handles. Later ones had two small loops on shoulders for carrying and a lid that fits over the psykter's mouth. Filled with wine, it stood in a (calyx) krater of ice or snow.
