Minoan. Phaistos cup. Herakleion Archaeological Museum

Minoan tray w/handles from Phaistos, ca 2700-1450 BC, the Minoan civilization flourished as a seafaring & mercantile culture. This vibrant culture was centered around the island of Crete & even-tually dominated the Aegean region. The Egyptians called the Minoans “the Sea Peoples” & had a fond appreciation for Minoan pottery & ceramics, prized for their innovative shapes & sea-inspired designs

Cups, various materials and design

Lidded pot from Mochlos

Mycenaean chalice (goblet), c. 1400-1100 BC:

Mycenae: Terracotta kylix, stemmed cup, w/murex decoration, H.8-3/8" late 14th c. BC. The murex, a type of mollusk, was prized throughout antiquity as a source of purple dye. Improved methods of firing made this type of long-stemmed cup possible. The shape became the standard form of drinking cup onward. @Deidra Brocké Wallace. MMA, NYC

The late Bronze Age, Hagia Triada limestone sarcophagus is 54”-long. It was originally dated to 1400 BC. It provides probably the most comprehensive iconography of a pre-Homeric thysiastikis ceremony and one of the best pieces of information on noble burial customs when Crete was under Mycenaean rule, combining features of Minoan and Mycenaean style and subject matter.
