THE POTTERY OF CYPRUS.
Fig. 2 = C :
C 2. MILK-BOWL with spout. Ht. 7 in.; diam. 152 in. From Agia Paraskevi, Nicosia.
Presented by Col. Falkland Warren, R.A., 18S8. Class. Review, 1888, p. 266.
Nearly hemispherical, apparently hand-
made, edge irregular ; even brick-red tone
throughout and in fractures. Clay badly
levigated and tending to crack in firing.
Tubular spout springing from midway up
side and rising obliquely to level of lip.
Opposite the spout is a projection pinched
out slightly below the lip, pierced vertically with two holes for suspension.
[Cf. Cyprus Mus. Cat., No. 16.]
Q 3_ MILK-BOWL, as preceding, but spout semi-tubular, breaking into lip. Ht. 5 in. ;
diam. II3 in. Similarly acquired. Class. Review, 1888, p. 266.
The base is slightly flattened so that the bowl rests on the flat, but not
level. The handle starts from a ridge 34 in. wide, slightly raised above the level
of the lip, and is vertical. On the exterior are irregular patches of black, caused
by unskilful firing.
[Cf. Cyprus Mus. Cat., Nos. 12-15.]
C 4. AMPHORA. Ht. 5 in. Phoenikiais (M. O.-Richter), 1884.
Clay brick-red to brown ; very roughly modelled ; no
foot; body nearly hemispherical. The surface is left rough
without slip or burnish.

Fig. 3 = C 4.
C 5. AMPHORA. Ht. Sx in. Similarly acquired.
Similar to preceding, but with three roughly-modelled stumps for feet. One
handle and lip partly broken away. Clay very badly levigated ; burnt (probably
in an open fire) on one side to a deep black.
[Cf. Cyprus Mus. Cat., p. 44, Nos. 180 ff.]
qq OINOCHOE. Form 6 (nearly). Ht. 14 in. Similarly acquired.
Technique as before, but surface fairly uniform, red and smooth. Egg-
shaped body, tall narrow neck with ring-handle at junction of neck and body ;
opposite it slightly lower down, a small pierced projection in
form of a half-ring.
[Cf. Cyprus Mus. Cat., p. 44, Nos. 140-145, 147.]
C 7. JUG. Form 6 (nearly). Ht. "]\ in. Similarly acquired.
Deep red colour. Surface fairly smooth ; seems to have
been polished, but is now mostly dull. The lower part of the
body and the upper part of the handle are greyish-black,
probably as the effect of unskilful firing. The body is nearly
globular, without any form of base ; the neck is tall and tubular,
