- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Ignazia, ca. 4th century BCE. A polychrome pottery wine cup (skyphos) presenting a classic silhouette, with a remarkably thin-walled body, twin horizontal loop handles, and a round, concave foot, created in a pottery workshop in the Apulia region of southern Italy where potters were known for introducing additional pigments to the red-figure painting technique. The elaborate decorative program on this example consists of numerous registers, including (from top to bottom): repeated white tongues with incised lines above and below, a white wavy band surrounded by incised lines, a white beaded band, a thick pink band, and abundant hanging grapevines in white and yellow on one side - and on the other side, a pair of white dotted bands separated by two incised lines. The black ground boasts wonderful iridescence. Overall, a lovely example that demonstrates skillful technique and a refined polychromatic effect characteristic of Gnathia. Size: 4.75" W handlespan x 3.125" H (12.1 cm x 7.9 cm)
Provenance: private Alabama, USA collection; ex-Roy Green collection
