- Scope note
- Ancient Greek vessels in a shape reminiscent of an oil lamp. They feature prominent spouts and seem to have been specialized containers designed for the refilling of oil lamps with a fresh supply of olive oil. Most lamps were made with a hole in the discus (the round sealed cover of the reservoir) so that the refilling did not need to disturb the wick that emerged from the spout.
