Description
Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Apulia, Xenon, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A classic wheel-thrown trefoil-spouted oinochoe with an elegant body on a ringed foot, created in a pottery workshop in the Apulia region of southern Italy where potters were known for introducing additional pigments to black-glazed vessels. The front of this example of Xenon ware presents a gorgeous palmette surrounded by sinuous, spiraling tendrils. Xenon ware is a specific type of Apulian pottery, named after a famous vase in Frankfurt (Beazley, EVP, p. 219, 1.) that is inscribed with the name: XENON. This type is distinguished by added matte red decoration over black glaze as we see in this example. Size: 2.125" W x 3" H (5.4 cm x 7.6 cm).
