Lakaina

A lakaina (λᾴκαινα, plural lakainai) is a specific form of pottery vessel.

Two horizontal handles are affixed to the lower part of the cylindrical bowl.

He explains the term is based on the shape's origin in Sparta, in the region of Laconia.

Unlike in most parts of the rest of Greece, in Laconia the rather beaker-like lakaina was preferred to simpler and shallower cup types.

Such shallow cups were, however, produced in Sparta for export.
