- Lot Description
Roman, early Imperial period, ca. 1st century CE. A delicate and pretty kylix with slight rings on the bottom to form a very low foot and a deep round dish. Thin handles rise from the body to attach and slightly folder over the flat, narrow rim. The manufacture of this piece is very fine, and since it is made of bronze rather than the black painted pottery so often used in the Classical period to imitate bronze, we can conclude that it would have belonged to someone of high status. The kylix design persisted for hundreds of years and was made for drinking wine; this would have been a fine vessel for doing so and probably ended its life as a grave good for a wealthy Roman who had enjoyed its function at many Bacchanals. Size: 7.5" W x 2.375" H (19 cm x 6 cm)
Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired in December 2016; ex-Artemis Gallery; ex-private Orange County, California, USA collection
