The kothon–also known as a plemochoe or exaleiptron– was designed to prevent
its contents from spilling. It was produced in Corinth through the 6th and 5th Centuries
B.C., and was widely exported. Find contexts on the site of Corinth indicate that the
shape was not common in burials but rather in temple dedications.
