stemless cup
The cup whose foot is separated from the bowl by no more than a groove. History: The stemless cup appears in the last quarter of the sixth century B.C. in Attic black-figure and continues to be popular in red-figure. Sometimes it is decorated like the eye-cups, with a gorgoneion or a figure painted on the inside or a plain black glazed exterior. The subject of the scenes was usually Dionysiac. This shape becomes very frequent in the later black-painted wares, then dies out in the fourth century B.C. Term: This cup is so-called in modern times because the foot is separated from the bowl by no more than a groove.
