A Red figure psykter with red figure decoration of playful satyrs.
This vessel with a tall, cylindrical foot, rounded body, and short neck was used for cooling wine. Filled with wine, it could be placed inside a larger vessel, such as a krater or a lekane which had been filled with snow; some scholars suggest that the psykter itself might be filled with snow and placed inside a larger vessel containing the wine.
Today, it can be also used as a wine container or wine cooler.
