Item Details

Description

Classical World, Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Gnathian, ca. 340 to 320 BCE. A polychrome wine cup (skyphos) presenting a classic silhouette, with a thin-walled body, twin horizontal loop handles, and a short, round foot, created in a pottery workshop in Ignazia where potters were known for introducing additional pigments to the red-figure painting technique - in this case deep red, sunny yellow, and bright white. The elaborate decorative program of this example is organized in registers, including (from top to bottom) bands of tongues, cylindrical beads, wave motifs, and a pair of hanging budded floral or ivy vines that flank three abstract flowers in the field one side. On the other side we have a band of tongues followed by a band of dot motifs, and finally a flower blossom flanked by budded flower or ivy tendrils. Incised lines are used to demarcate registers and delineate the vines. The black ground boasts wonderful iridescence. A lovely example that demonstrates skillful technique and a refined polychromatic effect characteristic of Gnathia. Size: 4.875" W x 3.25" H (12.4 cm x 8.3 cm); 4" H (10.2 cm) on included custom stand.

Gnathia ware is named for the site where it was first discovered - the Apulian site of Egnathia (also Gnatia, Egnatia, Ignazia). The black glaze ware is traditionally decorated with floral and other decorative motifs in red, white, or yellow hues. Scholars believe that its production most likely was centered around Taras, with primary workshops in Egnathia and Canosa. The quantity and quality of Greek colonial Apulian potters increased significantly following the Peloponnesian War when Attic exports dramatically decreased. Apulian artistry demonstrates influences of Ionian (Athenian, Attic) conventions, as well as Doric (western colonial Greek) styles, with a palpable native Italian aesthetic.
