Description

Olpe. Apulia, Ancient Greece, 4th century BC. Terracotta. Damaged handle and chipped rim. Provenance: French private collection C. R. / Felix Cervera Gallery, Barcelona, September 2023. Measurements: 20 x 14 cm. With a crouching winged figure holding a kind of patera in the right hand and a mirror in the left; a wavy band around the bottom, laurel on the neck and a large palmette under the handle; the knob-shaped lid has a female head in profile on the left. In Greek pottery, a jug with a tall handle is called an olpe. The olpe has a similar function to the oinchoe, but differs from it in that it is taller than it is wide. It also has a smooth rim, as opposed to the tri-lobed rim of the oinchoe, and a high handle that often rises characteristically above the rim of the oinchoe.
