Item Details
Description
Italy, Etruscan culture, ca. 768 to 264 BCE. A beautifully formed oinochoe, or pouring vessel, with a strap handle joining rim to shoulder and a trefoil spout. The voluminous body is supported by a round concave foot. Bucchero is a specifically Etruscan style for firing pottery which results in a smooth, shiny black finish. This type of jug may have been made specifically to be buried with offerings, as was often the case for such fine Etruscan pottery. Size: 4.5" in diameter x 7" H (11.4 cm x 17.8 cm)

Provenance: private Carlton collection, Los Angeles, California, USA, acquired between 1965 and 1980
