Ex Louis-Gabriel Bellon (1819?-1899), France. Private collection, acquired on the French art market in 2009.
This Attic pottery type, developed towards the late 6th century B.C., made from a fine light tan clay with a semi-lustrous black gloss, except for the edge and underside of discoid foot. Usually this kind of handleless kylix evidences a shallow, segmental form body with the lip curving inward and being slightly offset on the exterior. A wide circle in black is usually visible on the underside of the foot.
