$321.75
An ancient Cypriot middle Bronze Age red ware dipper cup, dating to around 1900 BC. The deep bowl measures3 1/4 inches high X 6 1/2 deep X 5inches wide chips on rim handle with repairs (old repair?)with everted rim and rounded base, adorned with a tall handle, formed into a loop. The body decorated with geometric patterns all painted in mauve on the red slip. Termed dipper cups, vessels such as this piece would have been used to scoop wine or liquid out of a larger vessel. The early Bronze Age potters of Cyprus were compulsive decorators, as such, each vessel was like a hollow piece of sculpture, to be lovingly and individually shaped and ornamented. In this case, complex shapes as this may simply have been playful inventions of Cypriot potters of the time, with no hidden meaning or purpose, but rather with a practical use. From an old New York City collection acquired by descent in the 1970\'s.
