- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, Gnathian, ca. 330 to 320 BCE. A beautiful and graceful pouring vessel known as a prochous, wheel-thrown and decorated with a lustrous black glaze. The vessel is defined by its discoid foot, a bulbous teardrop-shaped body, a narrow neck which tapers to a projecting spout, and a high-arching strap handle which joins shoulder to spout base. The body is intricately painted with fugitive red, white, and yellow hues to form a horizontal band of grape vine with projecting leaves, a band of undulating scrolls, and a row of frets, each separated by three registers of enclosed ovolos. A pair of anthropomorphic face maskettes project from either side of the spout base, and faint silvery iridescence is visible across most black-glazed areas. Size: 2.75" W x 7.2" H (7 cm x 18.3 cm).
For a stylistically-similar example with slightly different painted motifs, please see The British Museum, museum number 1814,0704.585: https://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=394155&partId=1&people=98208&peoA=98208-3-17&page=1
