- Lot Description
Classical World, Italy, Etruscan culture, ca. 768 to 264 BCE. A ceramic kantharos, a deep vessel with distinctive high handles, meant for consuming wine. This example has a flanged border between the body and the foot which displays dozens of incised grooves. The rim is smooth, and the upper end of each handle flows seamlessly into the body of the vessel. The kantharos form can be traced as far back as the 8th century BCE, and in later times kantharoi were prominently featured as subjects on black- and red-figure vases, often carried by Dionysus or Herakles. Bucchero is a specifically-Etruscan style for firing pottery which results in a smooth, lustrous black glaze. This type of vessel may have been buried with offerings in the tombs of recently-deceased individuals, as was the case for much fine Etruscan pottery. Size: 7.6" W x 5.75" H (19.3 cm x 14.6 cm).
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-collection of the archaeologist Professor Rudolf Paulsen (died 1985), Munich, Germany
