- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, southern Italy, near present day Ignazia, ca. 340 to 320 BCE. An attractive blackware pottery pitcher with a trefoil spout decorated via the Gnathian technique with fugitive red, white, and yellow pigments - depicting an elaborate grapevine pattern around the body, punctuated by a band of tiny laurel buds below, with egg and dart, zigzag, and beaded bands adorning the shoulder - separated by incised lines. Contributing further to its beautiful decorative program is the silvery iridescence that the black glaze has attained over the ages. Size: 4.125" W x 6.25" H (10.5 cm x 15.9 cm)
Gnathia 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. The quantity and quality of Greek colonial Apulian potters increased significantly following the Peloponnesian War when Attic exports dramatically decreased. Apulian artistry demonstrates influences of Ionian (Athenian, Attic) conventions, as well as Doric (western colonial Greek) styles, with a palpable native Italian aesthetic.
