Description
This is an Etruscan black coloured / bucchero beaked oinochoe (a jug used to pour wine). This larger than usual vessel has a wonderful and very elegant shape, and has even been compared by the previous owner to a belly dancer (!). In some aspects of its shape it resembles a modern work of art, but it is an authentic ancient object.
For a close parallel of the shape see the Ure Museum of the University of Reading, United Kingdom (accession number 50.4.5).
Etruscan, circa 350 BC.
Size: height 26,9 cm
Literature: John W. Hayes, Greek and Italian Black-Gloss and Related Wares in the Royal Ontario Museum: : A Catalogue (Toronto, 1984); Tom B. Rasmussen, Bucchero Pottery from Southern Etruria (Cambridge, 1979); Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum, WARSAW, Musée National 6, pls. 49 - 50.
PROVENANCE: Private Dutch collection, acquired from Mieke Zilverberg, Amsterdam (antiquities dealer and member of the IADAA) in the early 1990s.
(there is a reserve on this lot)

Condition
A few tiny chips to the base, some scratches and wear, resulting in some loss of the black colour, as is customary with ancient vases; handle reattached in a professional way so that it is difficult to tell; else intact.
