This cup was probably used for drinking wine or water; as a ladle for food such as stew, or possibly as a measure for dry ingredients. Attic pottery was highly regarded in the ancient world for its exceptional quality and craftmanship and Athens was a major hub for ceramic production. The striking black glaze was durable, as can be attested by our example, and was highly prized throughout the Mediterranean. These items were wheel thrown and fixtures such as the handles were attached by clay slip before firing, the black glaze was a speciality slip glaze for this area and allowed for the pattern to be either scratched onto the surface or painted on later.
