/ˈɒlpiː/ · noun
Originally, a leather flask or vessel for oils or liquids; afterward, an earthenware vase or pitcher without a spout..
Altogether, Amyx attributed fifty-six olpai and oinochoai to the Painter of Vatican 73, thus making his oeuvre rank among the largest recognized in Corinthian ceramics.
In later vase-iconography, oinokhoai and olpai appear in sympotic scenes where they are used for ladling wine from the krater and pouring it into cups (Richter & Milne, 1935: 18; Gericke, 1970: 32-35).
Some inscribed olpai from Athens were probably used as measures, but there are other possible domestic uses, such as for serving small amounts of oil or vinegar.
Use olpe when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
