- Lot Description
Ancient Greece, Corinth, ca. second half of the 6th century BCE. A lovely example of a wheel-thrown oinochoe of a characteristically squat form with a planar base, a bell-shaped body with a gently sloped shoulder, a tiered neck that tapers to form a cylindrical neck, a triangular rim with a trefoil-style pouring spout, and a thick handle arching from rim to shoulder. The beige-slipped body is intricately decorated with three rows of vertical brown-painted dashes, a row of thin concentric rings enclosed with red-brown pigment, and a register of radiating tongues around the shoulder, and solid brown pigment on the handle and spout. Size: 2.625" W x 2.8" H (6.7 cm x 7.1 cm)
In antiquity, Corinth was wealthy and believed to be blessed by the gods, in great part due to its natural springs that flowed across its fertile plain. It was a cosmopolitan city that engaged in a great deal of trade with neighbors and other polities, near and far. Vessels like this one have been found in great quantities in graves around Corinth.
For a stylistically similar example, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 61.11.12.
Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-William Froelich collection, New York, USA, acquired in the 1970s
