Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, near Ignazia, ca. 340 to 320 BCE. A wheel-thrown pottery oinochoe with a piriform body, a tapered neck, a trefoil-style pouring spout, and a slender handle arching from rim to midsection, all atop a ringed foot. The black-glazed vessel is decorated on the front with fugitive white, red, and yellow pigment that forms enclosed registers of tongues, solid bands, petite stippling, zigzagging vines, and broad ivy leaves. Gnathian ware is named for the site where it was first discovered - the Apulian site of Egnathia. The black glaze ware is traditionally decorated with floral motifs in red, white, or yellow hues. Scholars believe that its production most likely was centered around Taras, with primary workshops in Egnathia and Canosa. Size: 3.1" W x 5.3" H (7.9 cm x 13.5 cm).
Provenance: private J.H. collection, Beaverton, Oregon, USA, acquired in August 2002; ex-Tom Cederlind collection, Portland, Oregon, USA
