Part of bowl and lip.

Convex lip, short upper wall, low wide bowl. Scraped groove just above foot. Decoration inside: palmettes within two incised lines.

The shape, lacking the foot, is uncertain, but the fragment, found in Corinth, comes most likely from a stemmed cup made in Olympia, the local shape best called the Olympia- cup from the examples found there and published by Eil- mann and Schiering (cf. p. 11, note 14). Clay and glaze, in the better pieces from the Olympia workshops, are often in- distinguishable from Attic and the elaborate rim profile of 650 may be compared with cup-skyphoi; the special shape is however foreign to Athens and, as noted above (loc. cit. and p. 25, note 56 at end), the high-swung handles characteristic for it, and sometimes also the decoration, do not correspond to contemporary Attic usage. Eilmann set the beginning of the Olympia series at about 450 B.C.; it flourished with minor variations throughout the century, with a few stragglers. One of these, Olympia-Bericht, III, 1941 (for 1938-39) p. 46, fig. 36, gives a close parallel for 650.
