Description
Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A beautiful miniature kylix with a petite concave foot, a round body, and a pair of applied loop handles extending horizontally outward. The vessel is covered in a jet-black glaze with a register of chevron motifs painted around the exterior rim in salmon hues - underscored by two lines delineated in the same orange-pink hues. In addition, amazing, near mirror-like, silvery iridescence graces the interior and exterior black glazed surfaces of the vessel! Size: 3.75" W x 1.125" H (9.5 cm x 2.9 cm)
