Item Details
Description
**First Time At Auction**

Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Campania, ca. 4th century BCE. A petite wheel-thrown blackware pottery olpe with a flat base, an apple-shaped body with a rounded shoulder, a squat neck leading to a rolled rim, and an applied strap handle joining rim to shoulder. The vessel boasts scattered areas of jet-black glaze, a hallmark of Campanian pottery, though much of the exterior presents a lovely red-orange hue due to misfiring. Campanian wares are among the five types of known pottery produced in the Greek South Italic colonies in the cities of Capua and Cumae. Size: 2.2" W x 3.2" H (5.6 cm x 8.1 cm).

Provenance: ex-private Myers collection, Florida, USA acquired before 2010.

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
