In the pottery of ancient Greece, a kylix (/ˈkaɪlɪks/KY-liks, /ˈkɪlɪks/KIL-iks; Ancient Greek: κύλιξ, pl. κύλικες; also spelled cylix; pl.: kylikes/ˈkaɪlɪkiːz/KY-lih-keez, /ˈkɪlɪkiːz/KIL-ih-keez) is the most common type of cup in the period, usually associated with the drinking of wine. The cup often consists of a rounded base and a thin stem under a basin. The cup is accompanied by two handles on opposite sides.
The inner basin is often adorned in the bottom so that as the liquid is consumed an image is revealed; this adornment is usually in a circular frame and called a tondo.[1] There are many variations of the kylikes, other cups available in the era include the skyphos, or the kantharoi.[2]Kylikes were also popular exports, being the most common pottery import from Attica found in Etruscan settlements.[3]
