Item Details
Description
Aegean / Eastern Mediterranean, Corinth, ca. 6th century BCE. This delicately decorated oinochoe (oenochoe) or wine pouring vessel has a flat bottom and a strap handle ending in a beautiful trefoil-lipped spout. Corinthian potters invented these flat-bottomed oinochoe and the style spread throughout the area by overseas trade. The decorations on this particular piece are a series of lines of various width, radiating outward down the shoulder and then around the cylindrical body, in dark red and black, over an orange terracotta buff. Size: 4.25" W x 7" H (10.8 cm x 17.8 cm)

Provenance: ex-Eugene Raymond Collection, Massachusetts
