Greek, Attic, black-figure, 03.24.31: exterior, obverse and reverse, sphinx standing over a nude manThe larger cup demonstrates the basic decorative format of this popular shape. Here, the inscriptions are meaningless strings of letters framing the figural composition, but on other examples, they accurately record the artist's name, label characters depicted, or offer greetings.

Each show a silver figure of a miner seated on a column rising from the center of the bowl. The figures are made of silver that can be polished. When the bowl was filled with wine the tiny statuette's image would be reflected on the surface of the "golden" beverage, the color of which was intensified by the gilded interior. Copper vessels in this form were popular souvenirs from Herrengrund, at that time in Northern Hungary, now in present-day Slovakia, extolling the seemingly magical qualities of the water in the region, which has unusually high concentrations of copper sulphate. Iron scraps left in pools of water did not actually transform into copper, but collected on their surface consideraZoutvat, Spitsovaal, with openwork wall and pearl lists, Christiaan Mensink, 1803 The striker ovale, curved vessels, who have slightly raised walls on the sides, rest on a striker ovale, also rising on the sides, upwards strongly rejuvenating foot on a straight -walled base.
