  • CAVI Collection: Berlin 1763.
  • CAVI Lemma: BF lip cup. From Vulci. Near Taleides Painter. Tlempolemos, potter. Third quarter sixth. 540-530.
  • CAVI Subject: On the lip: A, B, each: two lions.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: Handle zone: A: Τλενπολεμος : μεποιεσεν. B: Τλενπολεμε : κνυνυον.
  • CAVI Comments: For the name Tlempolemos in Attica, see ARV[2] 1611 and LGPN ii. "I attach no profound significane, erotic (Duemmler, KS III 359) or other, to the κνυνυον, which is probably as a mere flourish." "Cf. Kriton's signature on the Goluchow oinochoe, V.Pol. (1928), 8/5." (Beazley (1932), 171f., n. 16) [[The latter is CAVI 7988.]]. - Beazley there mentions a lost lip cup from Vulci with almost identical representations and inscriptions, which he supposes not to be identical with the Berlin cup. But that seems impossible as both cups have A, B, each, two animals (panthers, lions) and on B the notorious κνυνυον. The only difference is in the spellings of the name: A: Τλσνποσεμος and B: Τλενπονεμε. I have not entered the `lost' vase separately. - I see that in ABV 178/1 Beazley also assumes that the two vases are identical. In ABV 178/1 Beazley also assumes that the two vases are identical.@@[[Diameter: 245.]]
