- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, southern Italy, near present day Ignazia, ca. 340 to 320 BCE. An attractive blackware pottery pitcher with a trefoil spout presenting maskettes at either end and a decorative program delineated via the Gnathian technique with fugitive red, white, and yellow pigments. A band of ovalo with a beaded band below adorns the neck of the vessel, and painted across the body is a beautiful scene featuring a dove perched upon an floral blossom flanked by radiating blooming tendrils. In the Classical World, doves were associated with Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. A lovely example. Size: 3.25" W x 8.625" H (8.3 cm x 21.9 cm)
Gnathia ware is named for the site where it was first discovered - the Apulian site of Egnathia. The black glaze ware is traditionally decorated with floral motifs in red, white, and/or yellow hues. Scholars believe that its production most likely was centered around Taras, with primary workshops in Egnathia and Canosa. The quantity and quality of Greek colonial Apulian potters increased significantly following the Peloponnesian War when Attic exports dramatically decreased. Apulian artistry demonstrates influences of Ionian (Athenian, Attic) conventions, as well as Doric (western colonial Greek) styles, with a palpable native Italian aesthetic.
