Large Etruscan Blackware Kyathos, ex-Parke Bernet
Classical World, Italy, Etruria, Etruscan culture, Archaic Period, ca. 6th century BCE. A wheel-thrown pottery vessel known as a kyathos meant as a wine ladle for large mixing vessels. The sizable composition presents with an annular foot, a high stem, a hemispherical body with a slightly corseted rim, and an integral handle that arches high off the verso. The surfaces of this elegant vessel are covered in a dark gray to nearly black glaze characteristic of finer Etruscan wares. This type of vessel was perhaps made to be buried with offerings, as was often the case for such fine Etruscan pottery. Size: 7.875" W x 9.125" H (20 cm x 23.2 cm)
Cf. The British Museum, museum number 2015,5010.1
Provenance: ex-Millea Brothers Ltd, Boonton, New Jersey, USA; ex-private New York, USA collection; ex-Parke Bernet Galleries, February 14-15, 1964, lot #234
