Item Details
Description
Classical World, southern Italy, Apulia, ca. 300 BCE. A delicate lekythos, a vessel for containing oil, fired to an iridescent and glossy black with incised white and red details around the lower base and at the shoulder. It stands on a flat foot and has a broad, flat rim with a flattened handle. This is an example of Gnathian ware, distinguished by its colorful decoration applied directly to a deep black glaze on the surface of the vase. The spout and rim of this piece are particularly pretty! Size: 3.75" W x 7.55" H (9.5 cm x 19.2 cm)
