- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, southern Italy, near present day Ignazia, ca. 340 to 320 BCE. An attractive polychrome beaked oinochoe with zoomorphic maskettes at the upper end of the handle and an elaborate decorative program delineated via the Gnathian technique with fugitive red, white, and yellow pigments. The body presents a lovely register of grape clusters alternating with sinuous vines, perfect for celebrating the god of wine, Dionysos; above are striated, wavy, and dotted decorative bands followed by a register of ovalo motifs and a wide register of vertical petaloid frets adorning the neck of the vessel. An elegant example of Gnathian ware, replete with the utmost artistry and technique. Size: 3.375" W x 8.125" H (8.6 cm x 20.6 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.
