• Lot Description
  Ca. 800-600 BC. Western Asiatic. Terracotta vessel in a mid reddish-brown fabric with globular body, short straight neck and long, slightly upwards-pointed spout. The exterior of the vessel is decorated with applied blobs. This beautiful piece attests to the highly skilled craftsmanship of ancient Western Asia, where artisans worked to create intricate tablewares for use in elaborate banquets. Banqueting was a major part of aristocratic culture in antiquity and required a range of specialised utensils and vessels such as this one. Good condition. Provenance: From an old British collection of Asian Art formed in the 1990 on the UK and European art market. Size: H:140.5mm / W:390mm ; 1395g
