ATTIC BLACK-GLAZE ASKOS
Item Details
Description
Ca. 480-450 BC. A black-glaze askos crafted from clay showcases a globular body with a mouth that is tilted to one side. It is also equipped with a horizontal handle, allowing for easy handling and pouring, and rests on a ring foot base, providing stability. As a vessel used for storage and pouring, this askos played an integral role in the daily lives of the ancient Greeks. Its practicality, combined with the artistic mastery demonstrated through the application of the black glaze, showcases the craftsmanship and cultural significance of pottery in ancient Greek society. For a similar, see The British Museum, Museum number 1864,1007.1630. Size: L:110mm / W:85mm ; 145g Provenance: Property of a London Ancient Art gallery, formerly English private collection, according to the heirs possibly purchased in some auction or Art Gallery during 1970s-1980s.
