- Lot Description
Ancient Greece, ca. 4th to 3rd century BCE. A lovely wheel-thrown buffware pottery transport amphora of a sizable form with an inverted piriform body, a rounded shoulder, a projecting cylindrical neck, and a single arching handle, all atop a petite nubbin foot. The exterior of the vessel is almost entirely enveloped with barnacles, encrustations, and calcifications commensurate with being submerged in deep water for countless years, though these accretions imbue the vessel with a fine presentation. Transport vessels like this example were typically not adorned with painted decorations or applied details, though some display stamped markings denoting the materials contained within. The piriform body would have held large quantities of preserved meat, fruit, or other consumable substances. Size: 15" W x 30" H (38.1 cm x 76.2 cm); 39.375" H (100 cm) on included custom stand.
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
Provenance: private Virginia, USA collection, purchased in Marmaris, Turkey, in 1969
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
