Agora Object: P 2698

Inventory Number:		P 2698
Section Number:		Α 766
Title:		Red Figure Cup: Type C and Inscribed
Category:		Pottery
Description:		Mended from many pieces; parts of cup and rim, all of one handle and part of the other and most of the foot, restored in plaster. The preserved fragment of the foot does not join directly. Offset rim; ring around bottom of stem; shallow step on top of foot. Inside: Within medallion, discus thrower left, at the moment just before the throw. In red, on the right side of the medallion, the inscription (in two lines, vertically): <graphic> . Relief contours. The inner drawing in relief lines; five black dots on the discus. The hairline reserved, with dots of glaze added separately to form a scalloped line. Reserved: the insides of the handles and the space between; the outer edge of the foot and the resting surface. On the edge of the lip, the glaze has worn off. Glazed black: the offset rim, inside and out; also the outsides of the handles, a band around the bottom of the stem, a narrow line on the top of the foot, and a wider one on the underside. Elsewhere: inside, outside and beneath, glazed sealing-wax red, here and there slightly mottled with black. At the junction of cup and handle this red glaze may be seen to pass over the black of the handle: hence the red is a different composition from the black, and the contrast in color not simply the result of careful firing. The red is slightly less lustrous than the black, and more uneven. It has worn much less well. Otherwise, in texture and character, it closely resembles the black, and in color it differs little if at all from the red produced by stacking or by misfiring. (For a good example of the latter, cf. P 1310; for two other instances of the intentional two-color effect, cf. P 1265 and P 2772. Both these also show the red glaze red over onto the black.) A further note as to the foot: "A non-joining fragment which certainly, I think, is part of the base of this kylix has been found. We have placed it and restored the rest of the base on the analogy Casky, Geom. #149, p. 195; cf. also Hambidge, p. 117-Yale 165. It was necessary to fill the conical hollow within the base almost entirely with plaster in order to strengthen the stem. It may therefore be noted that the hollow within the stem is reserved as far down as preserved and that the underside of the base is red as far up as preserved. The dividing line between the red and the reserved is thus lost and there is no sure guide for restoring the height. It is likely that as we have restored it, it is a millimetre or so too low."
