Skyphos

In ancient Greece, a skyphos (in Greek old σκύφος / skúphos ) is a goblet, i.e. a type of vase to drinking high of 5 with 15  cm, generally without feet.

One distinguishes several types of skyphos:

  • standard Corinthian: edge bent towards the interior;

  • standard attic a: horizontal handles inserted under the edge;
  • standard attic B (also called glaux type): a horizontal handle and a vertical, inserted under the edge;
  • skyphos with lip (also called cut-skyphos): bent handles inserted into half-length, edge curved towards outside.

The type of the skyphos emerges as of the geometrical Period, initially with Corinthe. The shape is then regained by the Athenian potters .
