CAVI Collection: Toronto, Royal Ontario Museum 346.
CAVI Lemma: BF skyphos (Boeotian). From Tanagra. Unattributed. Teisias of Athens, potter.
Last quarter sixth. Ca. 520-510 (Hayes).
CAVI Subject: Lip: a laurel wreath. Body: plain except for rays at the bottom.
CAVI Inscriptions: Starting to left of one handle, horizonally right under the lip, Gr.:
Τει̣σιας επ[ο]ιεσεν hαθεναιος, retr.{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} so the phs. in CVA, pl. 42, mentioned by Hayes under the next item. The
signature on the other skyphos is not retr. A museum ph. (ROMA.301) shows both
skyphoi together; that on the left is clearly no. 346 and the inscription is
retr; that on the right has the inscription left to right.
CAVI Comments: = 919.5.134 (formerly C. 318). Ex van Branteghem, Ready and Sturge
collections. Despite the error, the inscription is very carefully incised. This
is clearly an Attic inscription and the alphabet should be considered Attic
also. Cartwheel theta. Sparkes discusses the Teisias inscriptions.
