- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Eastern Apulia/Ignazia, Gnathian, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A beautiful drinking cup of a high-shouldered form known as a kantharos with a bell-shaped foot, a hemispherical lower body, a collared rim, and a pair of strap handles that terminate with an intricate knot on top. Dozens of vertical ribs adorn the exterior of the body with an elegantly textured presentation, and above is a stippled vine with a round-petaled flower in the center. The vessel is glazed with lustrous jet-black pigment that provides a dark ground upon which golden yellow paint creates stippling around the foot, fluted bars on the handle bases, and petite serrations above the shoulder. Size: 5.1" W x 4.25" H (13 cm x 10.8 cm)
For a nearly identical example, please see The British Museum, museum number 1844,0113.5.
