Lucille Oka Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Now this guy has lots of personality. I don't think his origin will be hard to detect but what it is, is the real question. As usual do not use screen shots. I have one other view I will show later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Is that an orgy cup? One that can not be set down? Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJR Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 He looks Greek-Red Figure or Black Figure. The term is stirrup cup, where a rider was given a drink of wine, while or after riding. The bottom is not flat so you have to set him upside down on his rim, after you have completely drained the cup. What do I win? Tom[TJR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Campbell Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I don't know whether to comment on the business forum or here ... but ... if one wanted to retire off making mugs imagine a line of these ( with the specific Greek Lettering of certain societies ) sold on or near college campuses??? The volume off breakage and replacements would be worthwhile too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really isn't that type of cup, but yes it is a cup. Tom there is nothing to win sorry. It is not a contest or sweepstakes it is just a little thought provoking fun.

The volume off breakage and replacements would be worthwhile too. It is not a bad idea, but that would require molds and slip for casting and lots of storage space. So get going at it Chris. It was your idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
