Lot 14
Greece, Athens, ca. 5th century BCE. An amazing piece at an amazing price. Completely intact and with paint in near perfect condition, this is beautifully proportionate and symmetrical Attic pelike, a one piece vessel with a bowed-out belly and twin handles. Some vases show these items being used as containers for liquids. Attic glazes from this time period - as demonstrated so well here - have a brilliant, iridescent luster. The exposed reddish brown buff clay provides a strong contrast to the black glaze. Size: 5.4" W x 6.35" H (13.7 cm x 16.1 cm)
Provenance: Ex - Prominent LA County collector who acquired these prior to 2000
