Magna Graecia, southern Italy, Apulia, ca. 4th century BCE. A red-figure vessel with a trefoil spout (thus allowing liquid to be poured in any of three directions) decorated via the red-figure technique with a figural scene depicting a female donning a long flowing chiton and bedecked with a beaded necklace and bracelets, her hair dressed in a kekryphalos with a radiate stephane. She appears to move toward the right - thanks to the detailing made possible via the red-figure technique - and holds a large patera. To the lower right is an abstract palm tendril and above is a band of wave motif. A lovely example. Size: 4.875" in diameter x 6.75" H (12.4 cm x 17.1 cm)

Provenance: private Orange County, California, USA collection acquired before 2000, ex Arte Primitivo, New York City, USA

Repaired from multiple pieces with tiny losses to the break lines. Expected surface wear with chips/nicks to the rim and spout, nicks and scuffs to the body. Still a good example and the imagery is vivid.
