- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, Xenon, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A classic trefoil-spouted oinochoe with an elegant body on a ringed foot, created in a pottery workshop in the Apulia region of southern Italy where potters were known for introducing additional pigments to black-glazed vessels. The surface of this example of Xenon ware presents a trio of decorative registers adorning the body and shoulder - from top to bottom - a band of vertical frets, next a band of undulating S-form shapes, and finally a band of left-pointing chevrons - all in added fugitive matte red pigment. Overall, a lovely example that demonstrates skillful technique, an attractive painted decorative program, and a surface boasting stunning luster.
Xenon ware is a specific type of Apulian pottery, named after a famous vase in Frankfurt (Beazley, EVP, p. 219.1) that is inscribed with the name: XENON. This type is distinguished by added matte red decoration over black glaze as we see in this example.
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private collection of Dr. P.G. Giacometti, acquired at Charles Ede Ltd., London in 1978
