Cups of this typology, with glaze covering the body and even the foot occur in abundance at most sites where Corinthian imports are found. In Proto-Corinthian (soon after the middle of the seventh century) one finds both linear ornament and a neat, lively figure style, mostly with animals, which is inspired to some extent by eastern motifs such as lions and panthers. -
