Greek cups are ancient pottery vessels used in ancient Greece for drinking and serving wine. They often feature a wide bowl and two handles, making them easy to hold. These cups were typically decorated with intricate designs, including scenes from Greek mythology and daily life, showcasing the artistic skills of the time.
The most famous type of Greek cup is the kylix, which has a shallow bowl and a stem. Greek cups were not only functional but also served as a canvas for artists to express cultural stories and values. They played a significant role in social gatherings, particularly during symposia, where wine was enjoyed.
