- Lot Description
Classical World, Magna Graecia, southern Italy, Apulia, Gnathian, ca. 360 to 325 BCE. A lovely footed bowl decorated in the classic polychrome Gnathian manner. Most notable, the artist actually painted handles in beautiful salmon pink hues - on on each side. Between the 'handles' on one side is a wide register featuring a berried ivy leaf vine framed by an incised linear wheel mark painted claret red followed by an incised linear wheel mark painted white above and a painted claret red line followed by a wavy white line adorned by salmon pink buds below. Note the ivy leaves as well as the buds below are also highlighted with specks of white AND nice wheel marks also adorn the foot. A lovely example that demonstrates the skillful techniques and a refined polychromatic effect characteristic of Gnathia. Size: 4.125" in diameter x 2.375" H (10.5 cm x 6 cm)
Gnathia ware is named for the site where it was first discovered - the Apulian site of Egnathia (also Gnatia, Egnatia, Ignazia). Apulian vase painters created this style, Gnathian ware, where the entire vessel was glazed black – meant to emulate the look of fine bronze - then painted with floral or other decorative motifs in red, creamy white, and orange/yellow pigments. Scholars believe that its production most likely was centered around Taras, with primary workshops in Canosa and Egnathia, the town where the style was perfected. 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.
