Summary/Abstract: Two fragmentary vases from the Aphrodite sanctuary at Miletus have affinities with Chian fine ware pottery. Both are colourfully decorated – one, a cup orchalice rim from the seventh century BC has Middle Wild Goat ornament; the other, a phiale, is Athenian in Six’s technique, from the late sixth or early fifth century BC. The former would benefit from clay analysis, while comparanda found in the Cyclades for the latter may also be candidates for analysis.
