This is a beautiful and detailed replica of an ancient Greek redfigure kylix, or wine cup. The cup is a "real copy" as marked on the base, meaning it is a faithful reproduction of an authentic ancient artifact, made using traditional techniques.

Features:

• Design: The interior of the cup features a striking central medallion (tondo) depicting two bearded, nude figures in an embrace, likely representing a scene from Greek mythology or daily life. The figures are rendered in the classic redfigure style, where the background is painted black and the figures are left the natural color of the clay.

• Dimensions: Approximately 7 inches (17.5 cm) in diameter (handle to handle), and 5 inches high. The central medallion is about 3.5 inches (9 cm) in diameter. (You can adjust these measurements based on the photo with the tape measure.)

• Markings: The underside of the base is clearly marked with the number "19303," the words "REAL COPY," and a signature that appears to be "X. SARAKATSIANOS." These markings indicate it was made by a professional artisan specializing in archaeological reproductions.

• Condition: This piece is in good condition for a replica of this type, but it does show signs of age and handling consistent with a "real copy." There are some chips and scuffs, notably a repaired area on the rim near one handle and some white paint wear on the handle itself. There is also a crack visible on the base. Please examine all photos carefully for details on the condition.

This is a wonderful piece for collectors of classical art, mythology enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a unique and historicallyinspired decorative item. It would make a great display piece for a bookshelf, mantel, or desk.

Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of this classic artistry!
