Comparative ReferencesSee also Vessberg 1952, 121, beaker type A II a, pl. III 17. According to Vessberg they may have been used as jars since a number of painted lids (many with Aphrodisiac scenes) fit the splayed rim. According to Vessberg 119, they form a homogenous group and are in themselves evidence of a Cypriote production. No dated specimens mentioned by Vessberg.
