Ancient Greek "dribble glass"

"...this cup, credited to Pythagoras of Samos, works fine if you fill it no higher than the dotted line. If you add more, the liquid spills over the elbow joint and a siphon effect pours the cup’s entire contents onto your lap."
Found while rummaging in the Futility Closet.
