Item Details
Description
Greece, near Taranto, Hellenistic Period, ca. 3rd to 2nd century BCE. A hand-built pottery vase of a near-miniature size meant as a votive object to be placed inside of a tomb. The hourglass-shaped body has a flared rim surrounding a narrow mouth, and the entire vessel rests atop a slightly flared foot. Vessels like this were perhaps filled with wine or oils for the deceased. Size: 1.25" W x 2.7" H (3.2 cm x 6.9 cm); 3.25" H (8.3 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private Vero Beach, Florida, USA collection, purchased in 1965 from Anti Pietro, Taranto, Southern Italy
