FP class

The FP class ( Flower Palmette Class ) is a special form of the Attic kylix related to the eye cups .

Characteristic of the FP class is the decoration of the bowls under the handles with flowers, next to which a large, horizontally attached black palmette and several smaller side palmettes and volutes are painted. These decorations replace the eyes actually applied to bowls of this type.
