Cylix


In the pottery of ancient Greece, a kylix (Ancient Greek: κύλιξ, pl. κύλικες; pronounced /ˈklɪks/, "KEYE-liks" or /ˈkɪlɪks/, "KIL-liks", also spelled cylix; pl.: kylikes /ˈklɪˌkz/, "KEYE-luh-keez" or /ˈkɪlɪˌkz/, "KIL-luh-keez") is the most common type of wine-drinking cup. It has a broad, relatively shallow, body raised on a stem from a foot and usually two horizontal handles disposed symmetrically. The main alternative wine-cup shape was the kantharos, with a narrower and deeper cup and high vertical handles.
