Set of five orange-pink ceramic cups. They all have handles and feature various designs. On the inside of the cup, there is a brown and red banner pattern which goes around the rim of the cup. On the outside, there is a similar banner around the rim. Underneath this banner is a design which features various animals and flowers in the same color scheme as the banner. The bottom of the cup widens out to form a base on which the cup can stand. There is a meander pattern on this base, which is brown. The handle also has a brown meander pattern. The bottom of the cup gives a description of the cup. It says, "No M.F 113 About 640 B.C. hand-made in Greece by D. Vassilopoulos".
