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.
