- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A wonderful wheel-thrown miniature krater with applied salmon-hued designs - a register of nested wave motifs framed by double linear bands above and below on either side - over a rich, lustrous black glaze. The vessel is defined by a squat ringed foot, a tall undulating body with a flared rim, and a pair of applied strap handles. Brilliant areas of silvery iridescence complement the jet-black glaze. Size: 2.375" W handlespan x 2" H (6 cm x 5.1 cm)
Xenon ware is a specific type of Apulian pottery, named after a vase in Frankfurt (Beazley, EVP, p. 219,1.) that is inscribed with the name: XENON. The type is distinguished by added pale red/pink decoration over black glaze. Cf. similar example in Margaret Mayo, "The Art of South Italy Vases from Magna Graecia" (Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, 1982) where they are described as probable children’s toys.
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private H.G. collection, Rhineland-Palatinate, acquired between 1970 and 1999
