Item Details

Description

Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, Ignazia, Gnathian, ca. 340 to 320 BCE. A fabulous example of a wheel-thrown pottery pouring vessel known as an oinochoe. The vessel exhibits a spool-form foot beneath the piriform body, a corseted neck, a 'beaked' spout flanked by a pair of lion head protrusions, and a slender handle arching high over the top and down to the midsection, all enrobed in lustrous, jet-black glaze. Embellishing the neck and upper body are rows of fugitive pigment in white, yellow, and red that show a row of tongues, a slender zigzag between pairs of incised lines, a strip of petite white dots, white meander patterns between 2 thick red bands, and a band of grapevine motifs. Size: 3.2" W x 7.9" H (8.1 cm x 20.1 cm)

Gnathia ware is named for the site where it was first discovered - the Apulian site of Egnathia. The black glaze ware is traditionally decorated with floral motifs in red, white, and/or yellow hues. Scholars believe that its production most likely was centered around Taras, with primary workshops in Egnathia and Canosa. The quantity and quality of Greek colonial Apulian potters increased significantly following the Peloponnesian War when Attic exports dramatically decreased. Apulian artistry demonstrates influences of Ionian (Athenian, Attic) conventions, as well as Doric (western colonial Greek) styles, with a palpable native Italian aesthetic.
