- Lot Description
Classical World, Etruria, ca. early 6th century CE. A glossy black pottery kantharos, a drinking cup, of the rare single-handled form. The kantharos has a very deep bowl curving into a narrow, hollow, splayed foot. Extending from the bottom of the bowl is a flat strap handle that connects into the upper interior of the bowl. The handle has two applied designs, one of a human face and the other more abstract. Incised lines run around the interior and exterior of the rim. Items like this were wheel-made, with a foot that was thrown separately on the wheel and joined to the rest of the vase as the two pieces began to harden. It was then burnished with a slip and fired in a reducing atmosphere to produce this glossy black color, which is the famous Bucchero style. This piece was probably made to be placed in a tomb, but also would have been an echo of a vessel form used in life. Indeed, the Bucchero style was probably made to imitate the sheen of polished silver or bronze. Size: 6.3" W x 6.65" H (16 cm x 16.9 cm)
Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-Artemis Gallery, 2016; ex-private Orange County, California, USA collection, acquired before 2000; ex-private California, USA collection, acquired in the 1970s
