Dinos

For "dinos" as the plural of "dino", see dinosaur.

Attic dinos, ca. 540 BC, Louvre Cp 11243

In the typology of ancient Greek pottery, the dinos (plural dinoi) is a mixing bowl. Dinos means "drinking cup," but in modern typology is used (wrongly) for the same shape as a lebes, that is, a bowl with a spherical body meant to sit on a stand. It has no handles and no feet.^[1]

The Dinos Painter, one of the ancient Greek artists known for vase painting, takes his name from the type of vase characteristic of his work.^[2]
