About the Item

Oinochoe. Bronze. Possibly Italy, 19th century. An oenochoe, oinochoe, oinochoe or oenochoe is a vessel used to draw wine from a krater (where it was stored) before serving in ancient Greece. Its heyday was during the Geometric period and various types are distinguished according to the shape of the mouth and the belly. Most Greek oenochoes were made of terracotta, but there are also some made of precious metals, presumably for the social classes that could afford them, although very few have survived. The present example seems to be inspired by ancient works (compare one in the Metropolitan Museum from around 460 BC with inventory number 1970.11.1 and another in the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest with inventory number 66.142.A). · Size: 12x12x20 cm International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses (if you choose the seller sends it to you), but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.

Mortar with Inscriptions. Bronze, Spain, 1823
Located in Madrid, ES
Mortar with inscriptions. Bronze. Spain, 1823. Con maza. Mortar made of bronze with an enlarged mouth and a cone shaped body developed without discontinuity and with a decreasing diameter to the base; It has two handles or "pieces" towards the smooth decorative moldings that it has on the upper part. The piece presents, almost on the edge, an inscription (I AM FROM D GREGORIO OCANA ANO DE 1823) in capital letters and a date in roman with spaces between them; and the text (the other way around) “Mazon fecci”; both flanked by a simple molding above and another below. This large-sized mortar is of the type that is usually known as "hospital" because it is usually used for medicines in environments with many patients or in important apothecaries. Typologically, it follows the usual line in these examples of the Spanish school during the 19th century: smooth, with moldings and, as a general rule, without those ribs (or derivatives thereof) that used to appear in the previous ones. Compare, for example, with the large pharmacy mortar in the Municipal Museum-Archive of Calella (with inscription, ribs and human heads as handles), a large pestle...
