Lot 36E
Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A beautiful and elegant red-figure oinochoe standing atop a small foot with delicately-applied white detailing. A grand portrait of a lady of fashion graces the front of the body, surrounded with tendril-form vines, with a broad palmette on the verso. The apple-shaped body rolls gently upwards to a planar shoulder displaying a repeating undulating motif, and an applied trifurcated strap handle arches upwards parallel to a conical neck adorned with white vertical striations, terminating at a constricted trefoil pouring spout. A beautiful example replete with a timeless form and expert attention to detail! Size: 3.875" W x 9.5" H (9.8 cm x 24.1 cm).
The preference for Attic vases led to the development of South Italian workshops, strongly influenced by Attic style, but produced for local markets. "South Italic" is a term for Greek pottery manufactured during the 4th century BCE. Five regions produced South Italian wares - Apulia, Lucania, Paestum, Campania, and Sicily. Centers also developed in Teano (Campania), Canosa (Apulia), and Gnathia (Apulia), but these potteries moved away from classical red-figure and more towards less figurative work of the later Hellenistic and Graeco-Roman Periods.
