Extract

Two ‘ Droop cups ’ (see Ure in JHS. 52, pp. 55–71) bear the signature of Antidoros, Αυτιδοροσεποε (NdS. 1897, pp. 231–2, whence Hoppin Bf. pp. 52–3; Ure, l.c. p. 67, nos. 112–13). A third Droop cup is also signed. The British Museum fragment B600. 53, from Naucratis, published in WV. 1890–1, pl. 6, 4a and c (not ‘ 4a-c ’ as Hoppin writes, Bf. p. 209, no. 22: 4b is not from the same vase), is the foot of a cup; and of a Droop cup, for it has the distinctive features of the Droop-cup-foot (see Ure, l.c., p. 55)—black edge, and the outer part of the ‘ kick ’ black. (The latter feature is not quite clear in the reproduction: the underside of the foot is reserved, the black band is in the hollow). Moreover, the signature, Νικοσθ[ενεσεποιεσ]εν, is in the same unusual position as on the Antidoros cups, round the inner edge of the underside of the foot.
