I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to ask here...but from what i know about kanthros, they were a Greek vessel used as a deep drinking bowl or a ladle. They have high handles rising over the rim of the bowl for easy carrying or holding. The design of the kanthros was varied, but usually displayed a well-known Greek hero or an ancient myth. They often used red and black colors when decorating the bowl.

Hope this helped!

Painted vases were often made in specific shapes for specific daily uses-storing and transporting wine and foodstuffs (amphora), drawing water (hydria), drinking wine or water (kantharos or kylix), and so on-and for special, often ritual occasions, such as pouring libations (lekythos) or carrying water for the bridal bath (loutrophoros). Their pictorial decorations provide insights into many aspects of Athenian life, and complement the literary texts and inscriptions from the Archaic and, especially, Classical periods.
