- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, near Ignazia, Hellenistic period, ca. second half of the 4th century BCE. A fine wheel-thrown pottery pouring vessel known as an epichysis with a characteristic spool-shaped body. The flat-based vessel has a hemispherical shoulder, a cylindrical neck with an elongated pouring spout, a pair of protruding, stylized female maskettes on either side of the spout base, and a loop handle that arches high above the neck and shoulder. The black-glazed vessel still displays faint traces of its original fugitive pigment that formed vines and grape leaves on the shoulder, radiating frets around the upper protruding body lip, and circular motifs with grape clusters on the front of the body. Size: 3.9" W x 6.875" H (9.9 cm x 17.5 cm)
For a strikingly similar example with fantastic remains of fugitive pigment, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 1971.11.4.
Provenance: private J.H. collection, Beaverton, Oregon, USA, acquired in November 2018; ex-private Montrose, California, USA collection; ex-Lawrence Buchanan and Dr. Enrique von Kiguel collection, formed throughout the 1970s and 1980s
