Carinate

Carinate is a shape in pottery, glassware and artistic design usually applied to amphorae or vases.

The shape is defined by the joining of a rounded base to the sides of an inward sloping vessel.

[1] This design is seen in ancient cultures such as recovered in archaeological digs in such sites as the palace of Knossos in Minoan Crete.

[2] An alternative adjectival form of this design is carinated.
