- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, southern Italy, Apulia, Canosa, ca. 4th to 3rd century BCE. An elegant Canosan oinochoe of a graceful form with a bulbous body, a slender cylindrical neck, a trefoil spout, and a high strap handle joining rim to shoulder, all upon a narrow, tiered circular foot. The painted decorative program is extensive featuring red frets on the rim and several registers adorning the body, long red frets nested between linear bands on the neck, pink and blue petals outlined in red on the shoulder, next a wide band of red cross-hatching, and finally a red and dark red/black hued leafy vine occupying the widest register. A beautiful example that displays a classic Greek form and a finely painted decorative program in red, pink, and blue pigments epitomizing the Canosan style. Size: 4.625" in diameter x 10.75" H (11.7 cm x 27.3 cm)
Canosa, or Canosion as it was known then, was a major center of the ceramics and pottery trade when it was a Greek polis. It produced truly unique pottery, completely different in decoration style (although not in shape) from earlier and neighboring traditions. The clay is buff, with the decoration applied directly to it without the use of slip. In this example, the entire body was covered with white slip, and decorative motifs were delineated in red, pink, and blue hues.
