Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $300**

Greece, Hellenistic Period, ca. late 3rd to 1st century BCE. A redware pottery bowl with a low relief stamped design around the exterior base. This stamped design is delightful, depicting six leaping dolphins around a wheel-like motif. Megarian style bowls, by being mold-made rather than thrown on a wheel, allowed artisans to create intricate stamped designs that we believe were created to imitate more expensive metal bowls. They were made to be owned by people aspiring to wealth, or least an appearance of it. Bowls like this one were used as drinking cups, replacing the kantharos. Size: 3.3" W x 2" H (8.4 cm x 5.1 cm)

Provenance: private Orange County, California, USA collection acquired before 2000
