An ancient Apulian red painted trefoil pottery Xenon ware oinochoe (wine jug), dating to the fourth century BC.
A delicate, well potted piece, with a bulbous body, ring base with trefoil lip and strap handle, the shoulder decorated with a starburst motif, the main body with beautiful abstract scrolling vines, stars and spirals contained by two horizontal lines below and above. The decoration all in typical Xenon red paint on a black glossy glaze.
This is a genuine, beautiful and unrestored example of an Apulian oinochoe from a prominent private collection. Used for the pouring of water and wine, the oinochoe was omnipresent in the households of the ancient Greek world. With its beautiful trefoil mouth, it is not hard to see why the shape endured so resolutely throughout the centuries.
Height: 6 1/8 inches.
Condition: Excellent, unrestored.
Provenance:
Ex. Lohrey collection, Frankfurt, Germany. A prominent collector of ancient ceramics, rather than focusing on one particular culture Mr. Lohrey went after only the best examples from across antiquity. Buying throughout the 1980’s – 1990’s, with his keen eye Lohrey formed one of the leading German collections of its type.
