Item Details

Description

Magna Graecia, South Italy, Apulia, ca. 4th century BCE. A black glazed pottery guttus with an elegant fluted body, a high ring handle, a central spout with a tiered rim, and in relief on the top a medallion featuring Thetis or a Nereid and a hippocamp (a prancing horse with a fish tail). The Nereids were sea nymphs oftentimes depicted riding dolphins or aquatic snakes known as ketoi. A wonderful example, replete with impressive artistry and intriguing iconography. Size: 4.5" W x 3.2" H (11.4 cm x 8.1 cm)

A guttus was a vessel used to store precious oil to fill oil lamps. The name guttus implies that the oil was to be released drop by drop. This was made possible by the tiered, moled rim and the elongated spout which prevented air from entering easily.

See another Apulian guttus featuring similar iconography at the British Museum (accession number 1836,0224.392).
