GREEK ARCHAIC POTTERY PROTOME
GREEK ARCHAIC POTTERY PROTOME (VOTIVE HEAD)Western Greece, Archaic Period, ca. 6th to 5th century BCE. A lovely mold-made earthenware protome of a female face, probably a goddess, with a slender visage, comprised of ovoid eyes, a prominent nose, full lips, and a protruding chin. Her arched brows sit just below a curved hairline that stretches from one naturalistic ear to the other, framing her entire profile. All is surmounted by a large headdress. This example would have been painted with bright colors upon completion. It is perforated through the top of the head for suspension, probably in a personal altar in a home. She is set in a modern frame with a cloth matte for easy and elegant display. Size: 3.8" W x 6" H (9.7 cm x 15.2 cm); of frame: 15" W x 17" H (38.1 cm x 43.2 cm)

GREEK ATTIC RED-FIGURE STEMMED
GREEK ATTIC RED-FIGURE STEMMED KYLIX W/ EPHEBESAncient Greece, Athens, ca. 500 to 480 BCE. A beautiful pottery kylix, expertly hand-painted with images of ephebes or Greek youths in red-figure technique. Boasting a classically elegant profile, the dish sits upon a pedestal foot, displaying impressively thin walls that flare out to a broad, annular rim flanked by twin, upwards arching handles. A central tondo adorns the basin, featuring a pair of conversing youths swathed in peploi and crowned by thick coiffures. The ephebe on the left is shown in profile facing right and draped in a hemmed himation, while his companion stands with legs crossed, presenting a bare shoulder and arm which he extends outward. A lovely border of meander and cross motifs encircles the scene. The exterior of the vessel showcases similar scenes, presenting a trio of ephebes in avid discourse on each side. All of the figures also wear peploi, as each scene shows 2 of the ephebes confronting - 1 of which extends an arm towards the other - as the third youth observes the discussion. Size: 11.6" Diameter x 4" H (29.5 cm x 10.2 cm)
Three palmette designs embellish the area beneath each handle, while the majority of the kylix is enveloped in a lustrous black glaze, save for the top of the rim and handles, as well as the edge of the foot and a slender circle that surrounds the base of the leg.
Virtually no ancient Greek paintings have survived the tests of time. This makes the painted compositions found on ceramic vessels like this example invaluable sources of information about ancient Greek visual art. Refined dishes like this kylix were not merely utilitarian pottery, but rather works of art in their own right, highly prized throughout the classical world.
Perhaps the most exciting innovation in Greek vessel painting was the red-figure technique, invented in Athens around 525 BCE and beloved by other artists of Magna Graecia. The red-figure technique allowed for much greater flexibility as opposed to the black-figure technique, for now the artist could use a soft, pliable brush rather than a rigid metal graver to delineate interior details, play with the thickness of the lines, as well as build up or dilute glazes to create chromatic effects. The painter would create figures by outlining them in the natural red of the vase, and then enrich these figural forms with black lines to suggest volume, at times perspectival depth, and movement, bringing those silhouettes and their environs to life.
According to the Walter's Museum of Art, "Kylikes were the most common form of drinking vessel in ancient Greece. The exterior was often elaborately decorated, while the tondo in the center was revealed after the contents of the cup were consumed (the scenes were sometimes amusing as well as artistic) ...At the end of a symposium, the reveler might have used this kylix to participate in a game of kottabos, which involved flinging the dregs of his wine from his cup at a target."
A nearly identical kylix decorated with red-figure youths was published in Sotheby's London's sale catalogue for 11 December 1989 as lot 130 on pages 74 and 78.
