Etruscan Bucchero Pottery Kyathos w/ Handle
Item Details
Description
Classical World, Etruria, ca. early 6th century CE. A perfectly formed example of a ceramic kyathos, a bowl-like vessel with a distinctive high handle. This example has a flanged border between the body and disc-shaped foot. The handle is tall and strap-like, cutting in sharply at an acute angle and topped by an abstract zoomorphic finial. Bucchero is a specifically Etruscan style for firing pottery which results in a smooth, shiny black finish. This kyathos may have been made only to be buried with offerings, as much fine Etruscan pottery was. Size: 5.55" W x 5.7" H (14.1 cm x 14.5 cm)

Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection
