| Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Object | | Name: | | Z 48 | | Title: | | KYLIX | | Category: | | Miscellaneous | | Category Code: | | Z | | Object Number: | | 48 | | Description: | | One of many from the Potter's house, room 12. All are practically uniform in shape: the kylix has a large foot, flat underneath, but with a deep circular hollow at its center; and a high slender stem increasing in diameter as it rises; the body of the vessel first spreads out widely, then curves sharply upward to a neat rim. The rim is sometimes rounded off toward the exterior, sometimes has a short sort of delicate flange on the outside. There are always two half-round vertical loop handles. | | Decoration: | | brown glaze. Flower motif shwoing roots at the bottom and the knotty stalk which indicates clearly that the ancestry of this conventional plant must be sought, far earlier, in the palm design on vases of the Palace Style. | | Material: | | buff clay; brown glaze | | Condition: | | Complete or intact.
