Oinochoe
Serving as the main pouring vessel, the Oinochoe was used to distribute diluted wine around the table, typically done by the Symposiarch (host). Known for its rounded body, single handle, and spouted mouth, the Oinochoe was both a functional object and a canvas for artistic expression.
Turning an object with a single handle can pose some challenges as the form often ends up asymmetrical causing vibration and other challenges on the lathe. Between the shape and positioning of the handle, this piece required quite a bit of material removal and hand shaping of the body.
Height: 12”
Diameter: 5”
Diameter with handle: 6”
The timber this vessel is crafted from is sustainably sourced and selected from Spokane, WA. Turned and carved from Apple wood and treated with a combination of red wine pigmentation, iron acetate, and fire before being finished with Tried & True varnish oil. Stitched with waxed cotton thread.
