Kylix (drinking cup)
A kylix (; pronounced , "" or , "", also spelled cylix; pl.: kylikes , "" or , "") is a type of wine-drinking cup with a broad relatively shallow body raised on a stem from a foot and usually with two horizontal handles disposed symmetrically. The almost flat interior circle on the interior base of the cup, called the tondo, was the primary surface for painted decoration in the Black-figure or Red-figure styles of the 6th and 5th century BC. As the representations would be covered with wine, the scenes would only be revealed in stages as the wine was drained. They were often designed with this in mind, with scenes created so that they would surprise or titillate the drinker as they were revealed. The word comes from the Greek ''kylix'' "cup," which is cognate with Latin ''calix,'' the source of the English word "chalice" but not related to the similar Greek word ''calyx'' which means "husk" or "pod".
==Information==
Kylikes were created from the collection of earthenware, which ultimately aided in the production of the ceramic glass of the kylix.〔Young, Jenny. (The Ceramic Art: A Compendium of the History and Manufacture of Pottery and Porcelain ), ''Harper'', 1878〕 Terracotta proved a popular substance in the production. A type of terracotta called "redware" was especially prized by the Greeks and Etruscans for its concentration of ferrous oxide giving it a red color.〔Austin, Jamie. (Terracotta: The beauty of fired earth, Part I ), ''LifeInItaly.com'', Retrieved on 2008-03-18.〕 After the kylikes were formed, an artisan drew a depiction of an event from Greek mythology or everyday life with a diluted glaze〔(Timeline of Art History ), ''The Metropolitan Museum of Art'', Retrieved on 2008-03-18.〕 on the outer surface of the formation.
Inside the drinking bowl was often a portrait of dancing and/or festive drinking.〔Allen, Douglas. (Attic Red-Figure Kylix ), ''Utah Museum of Fine Arts'', 2008-02-19.〕 Unique compositional skills were necessary for the artisans to attain due to the lack of verticals and horizontals on the surface. Onesimos, Makron, and Douris were famous painters in this field, renowned for their works.〔(Ancient Greek Pottery ), ''Young Aggressive Sincere Organized and United'', 2005-01-10.〕
The bowl held roughly 8 oz/250ml of fluid.〔()〕
