Description

Slender Campanian belly lekythos of glossy earthenware with stamped decoration. Early 4th century BC. H 15.1 cm, ø body 6.4 cm. The body carved with lancet-shaped opposite leaves, the downward-facing leaves decorated with a dense sequence of circular stamps. Red coating on and under the foot. A beautiful, elegant example of this rare lustre earthenware! On the question of origin from the Greek motherland, see the piece in Heidelberg, University Z27: Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum 4 p. 80 with pl. 185, 10; Beazley Archive Pottery Database 9014825. Such an origin is also assumed for the example in the Staatliche Antikensammlungen, Munich NI 6499 ( elish? ). However, the decoration and red coating suggest that it was made in Magna Graecia. Glossy tone and red coating rubbed in small areas, small crack to handle, otherwise intact. Provenance: In the private collection of P. A., Munich, since 2021; previously in German family ownership since before 2000.
