Two-handled glazed cups (Skyphos) Roman, 1st century BC – 4th Century AD, Western and Southern Anatolia
These dark green lead-glazed drinking cups with handles on the shoulder were generally produced as an alternative to luxurious gold and silver plated cups. They were widespread throughout the Roman Empire and were produced in Western and Southern Anatolian workshops (Pergamon, Mytilene, Perge, Tarsus) in mass quantities. Cups were manufactured in molds and different glaze colours were applied such as green, yellow and brown. One of the cups has a floral design, the other depicts men playing music, dancing, carrying food and drinks.
