Description
Bibliography

Restored cup found in 1955 on the south slope of the Acropolis.

Its base is flat, the body has concave profile with its lowest part wider than the upper, and flaring rim. The vertical handle is pierced and placed low on the cup’s body. The cup was most possibly used for the consumption of some strong distilled alcoholic drink similar to modern Greek ‘tsipouro’.
