- Lot Description
Roman, early Imperial period, ca. 1st century BCE to 1st century CE. A captivating, wheel-thrown pottery oinochoe showcasing lead-based glazing in yellow and chocolate brown hues. The broad vessel presents with a hemispherical body atop a squat foot, a rounded shoulder, a cylindrical neck that splits into two circular spouts, and a trifurcated handle with a twin-lobed thumb rest on top. Accentuating the shoulder are seventeen barbotine decorations that create a distinct and visually stimulating presentation. Lead-based glaze was quite popular during the Greek Hellenistic period and carried over into the beginning of the Roman Imperial Period. Size: 5" W x 6.8" H (12.7 cm x 17.3 cm)
Cf. another Roman vessel with barbotine decorations at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 17.194.1827
