- Lot Description
Greece, Corinth, ca. 7th to 6th century BCE. A richly-decorated kylix, a drinking cup for wine, with two horizontal loop handles extending from near the rim and a pronounced foot. Around the body, in black and red, are motifs of birds - pheasants and peacocks. The interior of the plate has dense rings of black and red. The birds are delightfully detailed: the artist has created the detailed ornamentation in part by removing small quantities of paint within the motifs to open narrow buff lines. Size: 7.55" W x 2.8" H (19.2 cm x 7.1 cm); 5.1" H (13 cm) on included custom stand.
During this time, Corinthian pottery showed the influence of eastern trade connections with the city - creating art with stylized plants and animal friezes, inspired by trade with the Levant, Egypt, and Assyria. This is known as the "Orientalizing Period." The birds shown here probably form a hunting scene, depicting animals likely to be kept by nobility in special hunting preserves in the ancient Near East. The incised detail, combined with trade from Corinth to Attica, may have inspired the incised silhouettes of the black-figure period.
Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-private Chicago, Illinois, USA collection, acquired in the 1980s
