Fine condition, chip to edge. £300 - 400 EUR 350 - 470 USD 420 - 550 Provenance From an important English collection; believed to be from a 18th century collection. Literature Cf. Trendall A.D. & Cambitoglou, A., The Red-figured Vases of Apulia, vol. II, Oxford, 1982, pl.388. Footnotes Although it is most probable that Taranto was the main centre of production for Apulian red-figure, the recent extensive finds at Canosa, Melfi and other sites support the view that a careful analysis of variations in style on the basis of provenance should make possible a more precise location of other Apulian centres of manufacture.
A blackware skyphos with carinated body and two handles with tapering arms leaving the body, bridged by an integral loop, high ogival foot, and vine leaves in cream and ochre slip to the shoulder. 128 grams, 15.5cm (6").
