Item Details

Description

Ancient Greece, Athens (Attic), ca. 5th century BCE. A beautiful wheel-thrown terracotta alabastron, so-named because many vessels that assumed this form were made from alabaster. The vessel presents with a round-bottomed body which tapers gently to a rounded shoulder, a squat neck, and a discoid rim with a short funnel mouth. The exterior is decorated with four pairs of concentric circles brought forth in faded red-brown pigment, and areas of the neck and rim are colored with applied brown pigment. Custom museum-quality display stand included. Size: 2.25" W x 7.5" H (5.7 cm x 19 cm); 7.8" H (19.8 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010
