Handmade ceramic red figure kylix of the classical period, museum copy.
Depicts Achilles.
In Greek mythology, Achilles, son of Peleus and grandson of Aeacus (Achilles Peleides or Aeacides) was the greatest and central but also the bravest hero of Homer's Iliad. The anger / month of Achilles is the main theme of Homer's epic Iliad.
Kylix was a type of mug in ancient Greece, which was used mainly to drink wine. The goblets were wide and shallow cups with two handles placed diametrically on their rim. Their bottom was almost flat and was the main surface for paintings
Our personal love and interest in Archaic art, combined with our long experience in the field of painting for more than 40 years, guarantees the excellent result of our work.
We work with the best Greek potters in order to ensure the creation of an excellent ceramic utensil.
Then it is our turn to turn this vase into a work of art.
In our privately owned facilities we personally focus on each piece and follow as closely as possible the ancient Greek techniques for painting and decorating each ceramic.
What you will eventually receive is a unique work of art that will stand proudly in your collection.
