Greek Gnathian Black Glaze Pottery Oinochoe
About the Item
A black-glazed pottery oinochoe that boasts distinctive features that characterise this specific type of Greek pottery. The vessel has a rounded body that exhibits delicate fluting that gracefully tapers towards the foot. The neck of the vessel showcases a wide, trefoil mouth, providing a striking visual contrast to the body's form. The black-painted surface, adorned with intricate ivy tendrils and blossom motifs, demonstrates the meticulous attention to detail and the skill of the artisans who adorned these vessels. Notably, the absence of glaze on the foot further contributes to the aesthetic appeal of the Gnathian oinochoe, as it accentuates the natural texture of the ceramic material. For a similar example, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Accession Number: 76.12.8.

- Greek Black Glaze Pottery GuttusLocated in London, GBA black-glazed terracotta guttus (oil-lamp filler) with a spool-shaped foot, a wheel-shaped body, a protruding ring handle, and a cylindrical spout with an everted rim. The tondo features a rosette. This type of vessel, a guttus, was used to store precious oil to fill oil lamps, and the name 'guttus' (λήκυθος in ancient Greek) implies that the oil was released drop by drop. This was made possible by the tiered, moulded rim and the elongated spout which prevented air from easily entering the vessel. Apulia was a region in south-eastern Italy that, from the 8th century BC onwards, was populated by a vast number of Greek colonies – so much so that the Romans referred to the area as 'Magna Graecia...Category
