Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Apulia, near Ignazia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A beautiful pottery pouring vessel known as an epichysis, possessing a characteristically spool-shaped base with a slender spout and a tall, arching loop handle with applied matching anthropomorphic maskettes adorning the areas where the upper handle end meets the spout. The lower body has a black-glazed surface adorned with fugitive white stippled bars that enclose a palmette-shaped fan with a slender handle. The shoulder is decorated with a motif of grape leaves stemming from a red ring and interspersed with zigzagging vines, and the projecting upper rim bears repeating petals, all in fugitive white and yellow pigment. A register of vertical white frets adorns the tapered neck, and the underside of the base is unadorned.
