- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, near Ignazia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A wonderful pouring vessel known as a prochous, wheel-thrown and decorated with lustrous black glaze. The vessel is defined by its discoid foot, a bulbous piriform body with a tapered neck, a narrow spout flanked by a pair of stylized human-face maskettes, and a tall handle arching between spout and midsection. The body is intricately embellished with red, white, and yellow fugitive pigment that forms rows of ovolo, Greek key, zigzags, grape and olive leaves, thin vines, alternating red-and-yellow bars, and additional ovolo motifs. Silvery iridescence has formed across some glazed areas and imbues the vessel with an attractive presentation. Size: 3.2" W x 7.375" H (8.1 cm x 18.7 cm).
For a stylistically similar example with slightly varied decorative motifs, please see The British Museum, museum number 1814,0704.585.
Provenance: private J.H. collection, Beaverton, Oregon, USA; ex-Chiltern Antiquities, England
