Lot 58
Greek Guttus, 3rd century BC.Black-glazed pottery.In good condition.Attached report issued by Ricardo Batista Noguera, former director of the Archaeological Museum of Barcelona, of the Archaeological Museum of Olérdola (Barcelona), of the Archaeological Museum of Catalonia and municipal archaeologist of Tossa de Mar.Enclosed is a certificate issued by Antigüedades Pijoan, Art Canigó.Measurements: 13 x 8 cm.Guttus in moulded ceramic with relief decoration and black varnish made in Magna Grecia. It has relief decoration on the upper part of the globular body or container and a long spout in a channel with a rim. The entire surface is varnished in black except for one rim where it is enhanced. The guttus is a type of Greek pottery characterised by its narrow spout, and was used for pouring oil during meals. The black-glaze technique uses the same glaze as that used on red-and-black-figure ware, but covering the entire piece, without figurative decoration. It was a transparent glaze when raw, which took on its characteristic intense, glossy black tone after firing.

Dish. Apulia. Magna Graecia, 4th BC.Polychrome ceramic with black glaze.Attached is a report issued by Ricardo Batista Noguera, former director of the Archaeological Museum of Barcelona, the Archaeology Museum of Olérdola (Barcelona), the Archaeology Museum of Catalonia and the municipal archaeologist of Tossa de Mar.Conservation: excellent.Measurements: 17.5 cm in diameter.Dish made in the Apulia region. Originally intended for luxury tableware, the seat depicts a female head in profile, wearing a bun and necklaces around her neck. The eaves are decorated with a wave-like border in red and a band of discontinuous white lines filling the inner rim of the dish.Red-figure ware was one of the most important figurative styles in Greek ceramics. It was developed in Athens around 530 BC, and was used until the 3rd century BC. It replaced the previous predominant style of black-figure ware within a few decades. The technical basis was the same in both cases, but in the red figures the colouring is inverted, with the figures highlighted against a dark background, as if illuminated by a theatrical light, following a more natural scheme. Painters working with black figures were forced to keep the motifs well separated from each other and to limit the complexity of the illustration. The red-figure technique, on the other hand, allowed greater freedom. Each figure was silhouetted against a black background, allowing painters to portray anatomical details with greater accuracy and variety.

Lot 149
Roman ointment. 1st-3rd century AD.Terracotta.Measurements: 7.5 x 4.5 cm .Terracotta vessel with a globular body and a neck. This type of flask was used to contain ointments, perfumed oils, etc., liquids that were generally more or less thick and usually very expensive and valuable, with a wide variety of uses (for perfumes, cosmetics, medicinal substances, etc.). Its striking shape is a response to utilitarian motifs, as the lack of decoration on the piece shows its use for storage or transport, and its resemblance to Greek works can be related to the predominance of this influence in Phoenician ceramic production.
