TheOxford Palmette Class is the name given both to a class of ancientAttickylikes and to the group ofvase painters that made them.
The Oxford Palmette Class was the last group of artists, or of vases, to precede theKomast cups andSiana cups. They probably developed underEast Greek influence out ofskyphoi. These pre-Komast cups are larger than earlier cups, and reach about the same size as Komast cups and Siana cups. They feature the first conical cup bases in Attic pottery. The works of the Oxford Palmette Class are dated shortly after 580 BC.
