- Lot Description
Greece, Athens, ca. 525 to 475 BCE. Truly a work of art! A gorgeous ceramic kylix with a perfectly round, deep bowl that stands on a circular foot, and twin, delicate handles projecting from the sides, all enveloped in a lustrous black glaze. The center of the interior basin is slightly more recessed and adorned with 7 lovely stamped floral motifs. The black glaze has a silvery, almost iridescent patina, suggesting that it was possibly intended to appear as though cast from bronze. Size: 10.375" in diameter x 3" H (26.4 cm x 7.6 cm)
Cups like these were made in variety of materials - ceramic, bronze, silver, and even gold! They were a vital component of the symposium, the formal drinking party frequently enjoyed by elite Greek men. The kylix played a crucial role in the drinking game of kottabos, where players attempted to throw the portion of wine - usually the dregs - remaining in their kylikes to knock a bronze disc into a larger one. Many frescoes and ceramic paintings show men reclining, kylikes raised above their heads, caught in the act of playing ancient Greek beer pong.
