Item Details

Description

Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A splendid pair of pottery miniature kantharoi boasting traditional forms with twin handles and flared rims as linear motifs adorn the exterior of their black-glazed bodies - one displaying a starburst design and the other with vertical stripes and a zigzag pattern. Brilliant areas of silvery iridescence complement the jet-black glaze. Xenon ware is a specific type of Apulian pottery, named after a vase in Frankfurt (Beazley, EVP, p. 219,1.) that is inscribed with the name: XENON. The type is distinguished by added pale orange/pink decoration over black glaze. Cf. similar example in Margaret Mayo, "The Art of South Italy Vases from Magna Graecia" (Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, 1982) where they are described as probable children’s toys. Size of largest: 2.4" W x 2" H (6.1 cm x 5.1 cm)

Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private prominent Daryl Kulok collection, New York, USA, acquired in the 2000s
