- Lot Description
Ancient Greece, Corinth, 7th to 6th century BCE. A stunning wheel-thrown pottery skyphos of elegant form, presenting with a discoid foot and remarkably thin walls that rises to a bulbous body and circular rim flanked by two tubular looped handles. The ancient vessel exhibits multiple horizontal registers of black painted decoration, featuring (from top to bottom): a thin ring of around the rim, a series of undulating vertical striations resembling waves of water, a pair of parallel bands, a row of various types of fish on a spotted field, a second ring of parallel bands, a chain of triangles pointing upwards along the bottom of the body, and finally a loop encompassing the foot. As is customary for the black-figure technique, wonderful incised marks create further details on the fish, adding elements such as gills, fins, and decorative stars throughout the field, and some of the pigment shows as peach due to misfiring - quite a happy accident that adds depth to this skillful design. Size: 10.25" in diameter x 5" H (26 cm x 12.7 cm)
During this time, Corinthian pottery showed the influence of eastern trade connections with the city. Vessels with stylized plants and animals like this example were inspired by the art and friezes of Egypt and Assyria.
Provenance: private Orange County, California, USA collection, acquired before 2000
