5th-4th century B.C. A terracotta red figure skyphos with carinated body, an owl standing facing, framed by olive or laurel sprays on both faces, two handles and discoid foot. Cf. The Metropolitan Museum, accession numbers 2011.604.10.143 and 41.162.100, for similar; cf. an identical owl on a red-Attic skyphos in Melnikova-Grigorjeva, Bogdanova, O., 'An owl and a mirror: on Bosch's visual motif's meaning' in Sign Systems Studies, 38, (1/4), Tartu, 2010, fig.3, p.215, in the Museum of Fine Arts, Lyon. 48.9 grams, 11.8 cm wide (4 5/8 in.). Acquired in the 1970s. Ex Olivier Vodoz, Geneva, Switzerland. The 'owl' motif is found in Ancient Greece (especially in Athens) as an attribute of the goddess Athena, and later with the Roman Minerva. The goddess of wisdom is rarely seen without her main attributes, and therefore the owl is often present. The popularity of an owl as a symbol of Pallas Athena is confirmed by Greek coins dating from 5th–2nd centuries B.C., gemstones, amphorae, but especially by a group of skyphoi with its image. This specimen belongs to a series widespread in the last quarter of 5th century B.C. For this specific lot, 5% import VAT is applicable on the hammer price [A video of this lot is available to view on Timeline Auctions Website.]

Skyphos Gnathia. Magna Graecia, 4th century BC.Polychrome pottery.Provenance: Private Spanish collection.In good condition.Measurements: 32.5 cm (height) x 31 cm (diameter).Skyphos from the Greek pottery workshops, dated to the 4th century BC. The piece is decorated almost in its entirety, the body being decorated with a female face in profile flanked by borders and plant motifs. This type of decoration, based on the effigy of a woman in profile, is known as 'beuty lady', a type of ornamentation that was very common in the decoration of Greek ceramics. As for the typology of the piece, the skyphos is a deep wine cup, with two handles and a low, wide base, or without a base. The handles may be small and horizontal, projecting from the rim (in Corinthian and Athenian forms), or they may be loop-shaped, placed on the rim or protruding from the base. Gnathia vases are a type of pottery belonging to ancient Apulian painting from the 4th century BC. They owe their name to the ancient city of Gnathia (now Egnazia) in eastern Apulia. There, the first examples of the style were discovered in the mid-19th century. Its production began in Apulia around 370/360 BC, in parallel to the local version of the red-figure style that developed tendencies towards polychromy at that time. Gnathia vases are characterised by the application of different paints directly on the body of the vase. The subjects depicted include erotes, images of women's lives, theatre scenes and Dionysian motifs. Painting was often confined to the upper half of the vase body, while the lower half often had only ornamental decoration. The most common forms were bells, pelicans, oinochoai and skyphos.

Southern Italian, Ca. 375-300 BC An elegant Gnathian-style skyphos featuring a rounded body on a ring base and ear-shaped horizontal handles. The broad, relatively shallow, body rests on a broad foot with a central fillet; attached are two horizontal handles placed symmetrically. Decorated with geometric and floral motifs on a black background, this style is characteristic of vases that were produced around the area of ancient Egnathia in Apulia, Southern Italy, during the late fourth and early third century. The decoration on the front side includes a highly stylized vine pattern consisting of grapes, leaves, and tendrils. The backside features a simple band of ivy. Skyphoi like this one were typical drinking cups in southern Italy and in the wide ancient Greek world and were used during symposia (ancient drinking parties). Apulia was a region in south-eastern Italy that, from the 8th century BC onwards, was populated by a vast number of Greek colonies – so much so that the Romans referred to the area as 'Magna Graecia' (Great Greece). These Greek colonies were instrumental in bringing Greek culture and thought to Italy, greatly influencing Roman literature, philosophy, and material culture.

Skyphos. Apulia, Magna Graecia, 4th BC.Ceramics with red figures.Provenance: private collection, Paris. Purchased from the David Ghezelbash Gallery, Paris.Good condition. Repair of large fragments, no new areas.Measurements: 25 cm (height). Width between the handles: 33.5 cm.Skyphos from Greek pottery workshops, dated to the 4th century BC. The piece is almost entirely decorated. The body is decorated using the red-figure technique, with a full-length female figure flanked by large palmettes and borders. This type of decoration, based on the effigy of a woman in profile, is known as 'beuty lady', a type of ornamentation that was very common in the decoration of Greek ceramics. As for the typology of the piece, the skyphos is a deep wine cup, with two handles and a low, wide base, or without a base. The handles may be small and horizontal, projecting from the rim (in Corinthian and Athenian forms), or they may be in the form of a loop, placed on the rim or protruding from the base.The piece is decorated with the red-figure ware technique, which 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. Over time these decorations became more complex, incorporating numerous details in both black and white, which enhanced the narrative and decorative sense of the depictions. It is the shape that gives us the typology to which this ancient Greek pottery belongs. The skyphos is a deep wine cup with two handles and a low, wide base, or without a base. The handles may be small and horizontal, projecting from the rim (in Corinthian and Athenian forms), or they may be loop-shaped, placed on the rim or protruding from the base.
Circa 400 BCA nice black-glazed skyphos from the south Italian region of Apulia. The body is vertically ribbed and is standing on a stepped foot. The vessel is decorated with a simple pattern in golden yellow buds between a band of red.This decorative technique is typical for pottery, which is commonly called Gnathian, after the name of present-day Egnazia (located on the Adriatic coast of Apulia). In the middle of the nineteenth century large quantities of pottery with this type of decoration were found during excavations of the cemeteries of Egnazia (and nearby Fasano). Ever since they were known as the pottery of Egnazia, or Gnathia pottery, even though little of it was in fact made at Egnazia.For similar see:J.

Circa 370-325 BCA glazed wheel-thrown thistle mug with a petite tiered foot, a bulbous body that tapers to a wide neck, a flared rim, and an applied bifurcated ring handle. The body is detailed with white painted chevrons, above bands of applied white paint, red and yellow dotted design between highly stylised wave motif.The Gnathian style originated from Apulia, a region of Italy located along the southern coast. It consisted of a polychromic design applied onto a dark, varnished background. The primary colours used were red, white, and yellow although white soon became the dominant colour. The skyphos, a typical drinking cup in southern Italy, were used during drinking parties because of its practical shape. According to Plato, drinking parties were a common event which allowed guests to have discussions or articulate riddles.Romanelli, P., Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum, Italia 6, Lecce 2 (1979), IV Dr, Tavola 53, 1 (larger, but similar shape and decorative scheme), Tavola 56, 11-14 (small examples with female heads and palmettes).Trendall, A.

Bubo was the holy beloved magical owl of the goddess Athena, and it was a common subject from the Greek ceramists. The owl-skyphos, originally produced in 5th century Athens, was extremely popular and was exported from Athens to other parts of the Greek world, including southern Italy and Etruria. Local imitations have been excavated at Corinth, and during the fourth century, or perhaps even slightly earlier, skyphoi similar to those from Athens were produced in Apulia and Etruria.

Ca. 400-300 BC. Apulian. An elegant Gnathian ware skyphos (drinking cup) with a rounded body on a low flanged ring base and ear-shaped horizontal handles. The entire exterior and interior appear to have been glazed in a layer of glossy black pigment, indicating high quality workmanship - only the base has been left unpainted and the red clay is exposed. The body is decorated with white, red, and yellow pigment with alternating red-and-white horizontal bands, a row of dots and multiple bands of geometric and circular motifs. The reverse displays a simple white band flanked by two bands of circular motifs above and below it. Good condition. The Gnathian style originated from Apulia, a region located along the south-eastern coast of Italy. The Gnathian style consisted of a polychromic design applied onto a dark, varnished background and takes its name from the ancient southern Italian city of Egnathia, where this type of ware was first found in the mid-19th century. The primary colours used were red, white and yellow although white soon became the dominant colour. Skyphoi like this one, typical drinking cups in southern Italy and in the wide ancient Greek world, were used during symposia (ancient drinking parties). For a comprehensive treatment of Gnathian pottery, see T. B.L. Webster, "Towards a Classification of Apulian Gnathian," Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies at the University of London 15 (1968): 13-18. Size: L:82mm / W:135mm ; 99g. Provenance: From the private collection of a Kent gentleman; previously in an old British collection, formed before 2000 on the UK /European art markets.
Ca. 400-300 BC. Apulian. An elegant black glazed terracotta skyphos (drinking cup) with a rounded body on a ring base; just below the lip, two ear-shaped handles are set horizontally. The entire exterior and interior appear to have been glazed in a layer of glossy black pigment, indicating high quality workmanship. The base of the skyphos has been left unglazed, leaving a band of red-coloured clay to function as decoration. Excellent condition. Apulia was a region in south-eastern Italy that, from the 8th century BC onwards, was populated by a vast number of Greek colonies - so much so that the Romans referred to the area as 'Magna Graecia' (Great Greece). These Greek colonies were instrumental in bringing Greek culture and thought to Italy, greatly influencing Roman literature, philosophy, and material culture. Although in the ancient world black-glazed wares often replaced more expensive metal vases, the precise execution and beautiful black gloss make items like this one attractive objects in their own right. Size: L:105mm / W:165mm ; 162g. Provenance: From the private collection of a Kent gentleman; previously in an old British collection, formed in the 1990s on the UK /European art markets.
Ca. 400-300 BC. Apulian. An ancient Apulian xenon-ware skyphos, i.e. a deep wine cup with a low flanged base and dual-handle below a slightly thickened and protruding rim. The body is decorated with three bands of red geometric patterns added over the deep black glaze. "Xenon Ware" refers to this particular variety of Apulian pottery which features matte red decoration added on a glossy black background. Xenon ware commonly features geometric, abstract and floral designs as opposed to animals or human figures. The term "Xenon ware" comes from a kantharos displayed at the Liebieghaus Museum in Frankfurt, Germany, which bears the inscription 'XENON' and was the basis for categorisation of this type of Apulian pottery. Size: L:65mm / W:145mm ; 148g. Provenance: From the private collection of a Kent gentleman; previously in an old British collection, formed in the 1980s on the UK /European art markets.

Bei diesem Skyphos stehen die Steinkauze nach links, was sehr viel seltener vorkommt als nach rechts stehende.
