two-handled
Needs both hands
Two-handled describes an object equipped with two handles, typically positioned on opposite sides for gripping with both hands.
The term applies to various vessels and implements—cups, vases, urns, pots—where symmetrical handles allow for balanced lifting or carrying.
The two-handled trophy was too heavy for her to lift alone.
Ancient Greek amphorae and loving cups are classic examples of two-handled design.
