Item Details

Description

Greek, Magna Graecia, Xenon, ca. 4th century BCE. A blackware olpe with a characteristically high handle and form that is taller than its breadth atop a ring base. The piece boasts an elegant, smoothly contoured silhouette, a graduated neck resolving to a flared rim, and an intriguing decorative program just below the shoulder consisting of a band of abstract hillside forms atop a band of cross-hatching painted in fugitive cream and white pigments. The pigments used for this decoration suggest that the piece is an example of Xenon ware, a specific type of Apulian pottery named after a vase in Frankfurt (Beazley, EVP, p. 219, 1) that was inscribed with the name XENON. As we see in this example, Xenon ware is distinguished by lovely matt red painted decoration over a black glaze. A lovely piece! Size: 3.125" W x 7.5" H (7.9 cm x 19 cm)
