- Lot Description
Ancient Greece, Athens (Attic), 4th century BCE. A beautiful, black-glazed oinochoe vessel with a "beaked" spout and a cylindrical strap handle descending from it to rest on the wide, flaring shoulder. There is a sharp carination at the juncture of the cylindrical body and the long neck. The glaze has taken on an iridescent patina in areas that gives it the appearance of polished hematite. The base is unglazed. Size: 5" W x 7.5" H (12.7 cm x 19 cm)
The artisan who created this modeled it upon a bronze or silver vessel. A silver vessel with an analogous shape to this one was found in Tomb III of the royal tombs at Vergina, Greece and is illustrated in "The Search for Alexander: An Exhibition," National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., 1980, no. 158, p. 181. These pottery versions were meant for everyday use (by wealthier citizens) while the precious metal vessels were only brought out for special occasions. For more about this rare form and type see: "Shapes and Names of Athenian Vases" by G. Richter and M. Milne, New York, 1935, pp. 18-20, fig. 130.
