Item Details
Description
Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A sizeable and splendid wheel-thrown pottery column krater adorned in pigments of cream and sienna. The wonderful vessel displays a bulbous body with a round shoulder, a corseted neck, and a flared rim, all sitting upon a flat, narrow base of circular form. On either side are 2 handles composed of twin columns attached to the mid-shoulder that fold at a ninety-degree angle and flatten into trapezoidal projections from the rim itself. This item probably graced a grave, created to hold an offering for eternity. Size: 12.4" in diameter x 11.2" H (31.5 cm x 28.4 cm)

Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private T. G. collection, Williston, Florida, USA, acquired in 2000
