Lot 58a
China, Han Dynasty, ca. 206 BCE to 220 CE. A well-proportioned grey ware vessel with twin small handles low on either side of the body and a flat, unpronounced foot. The neck narrows from a wide shoulder and then flares outward into a spout with slightly rolled rim. The handles are painted a matte red that matches the swirling designs encircling the shoulder and spout. Size: 9.25" W x 8.45" H (23.5 cm x 21.5 cm)The swirls look almost like the visualization of the Fibonacci sequence, with the interior spirals sometimes outlined by white dots of paint. This said, in actuality they were made to imitate those on bronze and lacquered vessels and are a common motif in Han ceramics. Even at this early date, ceramic production in China was nationwide and regulated by the government, leading to uniform standards and styles across a vast geographic area.The grey color of this vessel resulted from firing it in a smoke-infused kiln. The surface decoration was painted on afterwards using mineral pigments, and is not protected by glaze. It is truly amazing that this vase has survived for 2000 years! Provenance: Ex-New Jersey Collection Condition: Both handles reattached. Much nice remaining pigment. All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back. A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids. We ship worldwide and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience. #120069

Magna Graecia, South Italy, Xenon, ca. 4th c. BCE. A fine ceramic drinking cup of a classic kylix form with a wide shallow bowl on a raised foot and twin upraised handles, the interior bowl adorned with a laurel wreath pattern encircling an elaborate star motif on the tondo, the same laurel leaf motif mirrored on the exterior walls - all via skillfully added peach-pink pigment on a lustrous black ground. A fabulous example of this ancient vessel probably used for drinking wine, perfect for all you oenophiles out there! Size: 8.5" W x 2.25" H (21.6 cm x 5.7 cm)Xenon ware is a specific type of Apulian pottery, named after a vase in Frankfurt (Beazley, EVP, p. 219,1.) that is inscribed with the name: XENON.

Lot 8G
Ancient Greece, Athens, ca. late 6th to early 5th century BCE. An exceptional Attic lekythos (oil flask) of an elegant slender and petite form depicting not one, but two horse and riders processing around the vessel via the black-figure technique. This is an example of the classic style of a lekythos, with a narrow neck, slender body, a small but deep mouth, and a single handle joining the neck to the shoulder of the vessel. In addition to the main iconography, there is also stylized black decoration around the shoulder and highlighting the handle, spout, lower section, and base. Lekythoi were used for storing oil used for a wide variety of purposes in the Classical World. While larger examples were usually designated for keeping olive oil, smaller more delicate examples like this one were reserved for the bath to store precious unguents of sweet and floral aromas. A lovely ceramic work from an elegant lady's toilette. Size: 2" in diameter at widest point x 6.375" H (5.1 cm x 16.2 cm) Provenance: Ex-private Magan collection, Jersey City, NJ. Condition: Repairs to neck, shoulder and upper body with a minimal infill or repainting. All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

Lot 9a
Magna Graecia, South Italy, Xenon, ca. 4th c. BCE. A fine ceramic plate on a raised foot, the interior bowl adorned from rim to tondo with a flowering vine pattern followed by a pair of concentric fine-line circles, next a register of repeated linear frets, and finally a swan stamped with an 8 petaled flower on the tondo, the same laurel leaf motif mirrored on the exterior walls - all via skillfully added peach-pink pigment on a lustrous black ground. Size: 6.25" in diameter x 1.375" H (15.9 cm x 3.5 cm)The artwork of the swan is particularly fine, with sweeps of the brush suggesting the broad shape of the wings. In Greek-influenced southern Italy, the swan as a symbol of Zeus was probably well known. Xenon ware is a specific type of Apulian pottery, named after a vase in Frankfurt (Beazley, EVP, p. 219,1.) that is inscribed with the name: XENON.
