This article is about a topic in pottery design. For the article about birds, see Carinatae.

Carinate is a shape in pottery, glassware and artistic design usually applied to amphora 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 alternate adjectival form of this design is carinated.
