A ''skyphos'' ((ギリシア語:σκύφος); plural ''skyphoi'') is a two-handled deep wine-cup on a low flanged base or none. The handles may be horizontal ear-shaped thumbholds that project from the rim (in both Corinthian and Athenian shapes), or they may be loop handles at the rim or that stand away from the lower part of the body. ''Skyphoi'' of the type called '' glaux'' (owl) have one horizontal and one vertical thumbhold handle. ==Examples== Early ''skyphoi'' were made during the Geometric period. Corinth set the conventions that Athens followed. Over a long period the shape remained the same while the style of decoration changed. ''Skyphoi'' were also made of precious metals, generally silver and gold leaf, many examples exist. One possible, well-preserved example is the Warren cup,〔In his notes Dr. Pollini states that uncertainty about the correct name of many ancient drinking vessals exists, however he refers to the object with the "established classificatory term scyphus", Specifically "half-oval variety of scyphus of the calix type". He cites as the "principal work" for such classifacation as: Werner Hilgers, Lateinische Gefassnamen: Bezeichnungen, Funktion und Form romischer Gefasse nach den antiken Schriftquellen, Beiheft der Bonner Jahrbucher, vol. 31 (Dusseldorf: Rheinland-Verlag, 1969)." More recently: "Stefanelli, 119-24, figs. 84-86.〕 an ovoid ''scyphus'' made of silver, as described by John Pollini. A Roman ''skyphos'' of cameo glass can be seen at the Getty Museum.
