Object Description
An ancient Greek small , black-glazed terracotta kantharoid vessel produced in Southern Italy. The vessel features a conical foot from which the globular body raises and narrows at the neck, then splays out into a wide mouth. Two handles have been attached from the mid-body to the vessel’s rim, and extend well above the rim. The majority of the piece is coated with a black glaze, however now dulled due to age, from its lower body up to the top, including the inside of the rim. Five slip marks, most likely finger marks, are visible on the body’s undecorated bottom and the foot suggest the glaze might have been applied by dipping.
Please take note of the measurements.
Date: Circa 6th-4th century BC
