A fantastic cup for parties and celebrations or just for enjoying your favorite beverage in style, this design has been popular for alternative weddings, such as Goth weddings, and Renaissance Fantasy weddings.



Most of the original rhytons were "bottom's up cups" that were set down on the rim when they were emptied. I have redesigned the cup with a tripod arrangement so that it may be set down after about one third of your drink is finished... a sort of temperance model. My cups are guaranteed to keep you cool with or without beverage. ;



This was hand carved by Jane Chischilly and then cast and reproduced in studio by the mother/son (Jane/Jason) team that is Chischilly Pottery.

I use tough, durable stoneware clay for my work. This dense clay is completely functional, food safe and can hold the temperature of your beverages far longer than any other natural material.



All our cast pieces are originally hand thrown on the potters wheel and then painstakingly carved and sculpted by hand as well. Then they are cast and reproduced in studio by Jane and Jason Chischilly (Mother - Son).

After a Greek victory on Persia, much silver, gold, and other luxuries, including numerous rhytons, were brought to Athens. Persian rhytons, which appear in Athens suddenly in great quantities after the war, were immediately imitated by Greek artists.
