Description from the seller

Elegant reproduction of a red-figure Attic skyphos, inspired by classical Greek pottery of the 5th century BC. This refined specimen combines the functionality of the symposium vessel with the aesthetic refinement typical of Attic ceramic art.
The main decoration depicts a winged female figure, a Nike or a feminine Eros, in graceful flight. The refined details of the jewelry, the feathery wings and the bodily features reveal notable painting skill, enhanced by white overlays for necklaces, bracelets and a crown. The scene is framed by ornamental friezes: a Greek meander at the base and a wavy band with black dots along the upper edge, traditional symbols of Attic decoration.
On the opposite side of the vase, a large stylized palm grows among elegant volutes, symbolizing beauty and harmony, central elements in classical Greek aesthetics. The two side handles provide a comfortable grip, making the cup ideal for convivial or decorative use.

Technical features
Technique: Red-figure painting with white overlaid details
Height: 145 mm
Diameter: 160 mm
Form: Skyphos (deep cup with handles)
Stylistic origin: Attica, Greece – 5th century BC
Finish: Manual aging with simulated antique patina
Production: High-quality artisanal reproduction inspired by museum artifacts
Curiosity
The presence of the winged figure on a wine cup is not incidental: it evokes victory (Nike), the lightness of intoxication, or the grace of Eros. During Greek symposia, wine was drunk slowly while conversing, singing, or playing: the skyphos was one of the vessels most commonly used for this purpose.
Ideal for: collectors, museums, theatrical settings, lovers of Greek art and classical symbolism.

Seller's Story

The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements. Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past". All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
