About the Item
Greek black-glaze ribbed mug
Athens, circa 475-425 B.C.
terracotta.
The mug is of a straight-sided, cylindrical form with seven horizontal ribs and an applied ring handle just below the lip. The base is flat with a slightly raised foot running around the circumference. The very centre of the underside is reserved and with traces of ochre pigment. Intact, some slight chipping to the glaze touched in, areas of incrustation to the base and interior.
This strikingly modern piece is a fine example of Attic black-glaze pottery, a style which developed in Athens in the 8th Century B.C., covered in an iron-rich clay slip that turns a glossy black during firing. During the sixth to third centuries, Athens began to export these finely made works, characterised by their dark, lustrous sheen, and the clarity of their style, across all parts of the Mediterranean World.
