Résumé :

Theozotos’vases compose a unique pair of Attic globular kyathoi, dated around the middle of the 6th century or little after. One, found in Vulci, was signed by the potter and is now in the Louvre (inv. F69). The other, in the Basel Antikenmuseum (inv. BS 1402), was assigned to the same craftsman for its resemblance with the first vase.Both are often isolated because of their unique character, reflecting a complex mix of Boeotian, East Greek and Etruscan influences.The obvious link with Etruscan crafts regards the shape, imitating bucchero. This interesting aspect will not be discussed here, as it would take us beyond this symposion’s topic. Though the potter’s name and some iconographical elements demonstrate connections with Boeotia, the technical and stylistic features show that the two kyathoi are of Attic traditional manufacture. Theozotos, if Boeotian, was working in Athens following the local technical tradition.
