- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, near Ignazia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. An attractive wheel-thrown pottery vessel of a sizable form known as a "pelike" (wine container). The elegant form of the pelike is composed of a squat foot and stem, a rotund piriform body with a tapered shoulder, a cylindrical neck surmounted by a flared rim, and a pair of applied strap handles arching between neck and shoulder. The exterior of the vessel is embellished with lustrous, jet-black glaze save for a reserve band around the foot as well as beneath the foot. Fugitive white and orange pigment creates concentric stripes, frets, V-form motifs, and stippling around the neck, and a diagonal representation of a lidded alabastron is flanked by a pair of foliate forms on one side of the shoulder. Fine layers of silvery iridescence have formed across the composition and create a dignified presentation. Size: 5.2" W x 8.4" H (13.2 cm x 21.3 cm)
For a stylistically similar example of an Apulian pelike decorated with a lady of fashion, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 76.12.12.
Provenance: private J.H. collection, Beaverton, Oregon, USA, acquired prior to 2007; ex-Aaron Berk collection, Chicago, Illinois, USA
