English term or phrase: Dinos (with stand)
This is apparently an ancient Greek vessel for mixing. I'd appreciate help not only with finding the Spanish term for "Dinos," but with the whole phrase.

Spanish translation:"dinos" (con pedestal)
Explanation:
"Dinos" is not an English word, but a Greek one, a "round goblet" (as described in my Lidell & Scott), so I think it would be a good idea to keep the Greek word in the Spanish text. Maybe you could add a note to explain what's exactly a "dinos" (maybe you'll find some help in the link below).
Stand: pie, pedestal

I didn't mean to say that the word _dinos_ was in English, rather that the Greek is the accepted word in English. Thanks for the background info!
