A very good antique Greek Revival cast iron kylix, by the celebrated sculptor Edward William Wyon (1811-1885), for the Great Exhibition at Crystal Palace, London, 1851. This rather elegant cast iron kylix (ancient Greek cup with a shallow bowl & tall stem), was made for display at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851, at the Crystal Palace. The kylix is made from patinated cast iron & decorated in relief with Greek figures and motifs, to each side is a looped handle the kylix is raised on a circular splayed foot. The bowl was made for the "Art Union of London" and is marked so to the underside & dated 1851, this bowl with others were commissioned by the Art Union to be used as lottery prizes. Condition is excellent. Edward William Wyon came from a large family of talented artists from the 18th & 19th century, he studied at the Royal Academy schools from 1829, and became a celebrated sculptor, exhibiting at the Royal Academy regularly from 1831 to 1876.
