**Originally Listed At $300**
Magna Graecia, southern Italy, near present day Ignazia, ca. 340 to 320 BCE. Attractive blackware pottery pitcher with trefoil spout decorated in the Gnathian technique with fugitive red, white, and yellow pigments - depicting an attractive grapevine pattern along with ovolo and red and white striated and wavy bands. Size: 3.625" in diameter x 6.625" H (9.2 cm x 16.8 cm)
Gnathia ware is named for the site where it was first discovered - the Apulian site of Egnathia. The black glaze ware is traditionally decorated with floral 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.
Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection, ex-private Houston, Texas collection acquired at local auction or art gallery between 1982 and 1999
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
