Greek Blackware Kylix
Circa 5th century B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £364
Broad and shallow with two strap handles, tondo displaying a wreath of ivy leaves with tendrils and volutes underneath; the underside of the bowl with acanthus motifs; restored. 215 grams, 21.5 cm wide
Acquired on the UK art market, early 2000s.
Drinking cups (kylikes and skyphoi), along with mixing bowls and wine coolers (kraters and psykters), wine jars (amphorae), water jars (hydrai), pitchers (oinochoai), and ladles (kyathoi), were essential equipment for drinking parties. The kylix appears to have been the most popular form of drinking cup, probably because it was especially well-suited to the Greek custom of eating and drinking while reclining on a couch. These Attic kylikes were usually presented with a stemmed base, a deep bowl and two upturned loop handles, on a concave base. -
