Terracotta stemless kylix (drinking cup)

Greek, Attic

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 171

This cup and its counterpart, 74.51.1385, are noteworthy for their elegant shape, fine potting, and use of a coral red slip. During the second quarter of the fifth century B.C., there was renewed interest in colorful effects on Attic vases, leading to a resurgence of special techniques such as white ground and coral red. It is interesting also that the two cups were found on Cyprus.
