APULIAN RED-FIGURE LEKYTHOS W/ LADY
APULIAN RED-FIGURE LEKYTHOS W/ LADY OF FASHIONMagna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A wheel-thrown lekythos with an egg-shaped body atop a grooved discoid base, a rounded shoulder which tapers to a corseted cylindrical neck, a flared and in-folded rim, and a high-arching handle joining neck and shoulder. The black-glazed exterior boasts areas of red-figure artistry, including a 'lady of fashion' with a kekryphalos hairstyle, spiraling tendrils, and a stylized palmette beneath the handle. Faint silvery iridescence has formed over some of the glazed areas. Size: 2.25" in diameter x 4.25" H (5.7 cm x 10.8 cm)
Perhaps the most exciting innovation in Greek vase 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 pigment to suggest volume, details, at times perspectival depth, and movement, bringing those silhouettes and their environs to life. Beyond this, fugitive pigments made it possible for the artist to create additional layers of interest and detail as we see in this example.

GREEK ATTIC POTTERY WHITE-GROUND
GREEK ATTIC POTTERY WHITE-GROUND LEKYTHOSAncient Greece, Athens (Attic), ca. 5th century BCE. A slender cylindrical vessel with a pronounced flat foot, a thin neck rising to a flared, flat rim, a small strap handle, and a tapered body. The body is decorated with two panels of cross-hatching, fretted lines enclosing a bifurcated section of leaves and berries. The shoulder displays a radiating register of ray band patterns, with additional black pigment adorning the foot, handle, and rim. Size: 2.375" W x 6.375" H (6 cm x 16.2 cm).
Lekythos vases were among the various offerings and monuments paying tribute to the deceased in Athenian cemeteries. Lekythos vessels traditionally held oil and were decorated in the white ground technique from the middle until the end of the fifth century BCE. The term white ground relates to the light slip coating on the body and shoulder of the vase. Upon this background, motifs were drawn in outline and then hand painted in rich colors. The vast majority of these vessels were created for burial with the dead or to be offerings presented at their graves.

GREEK ATTIC BLACK-FIGURE LEKYTHOS
GREEK ATTIC BLACK-FIGURE LEKYTHOS W/ ZOOMORPHAncient Greece, Athens, ca. early 5th century BCE. A beautiful wheel-thrown pottery lekythos - a vessel used to hold perfumes or other scented oils - finely painted via the black-figure technique. The side panel of the ancient vessel depicts a fascinating zoomorphic figure. In addition to this iconographic program is a lovely frieze of a starburst motif on the vessel's shoulder and lustrous black glaze envelops the lower section of the body to the upper surface of the foot as well as the spout and single, gently arching strap handle. Size: 1.75" in diameter x 5.75" H (4.4 cm x 14.6 cm)
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. This beautiful vessel was most likely created for an elegant lady's toilette.

TALL GREEK GNATHIAN POLYCHROME
TALL GREEK GNATHIAN POLYCHROME NET LEKYTHOSMagna Graecia, South Italy, probably Gnathian, ca. 325 BCE. An opulent pottery lekythos boasting a refined silhouette with an ovoid body, a sloped shoulder, an attenuated neck, and a collared rim, all sitting upon a discoid base as an arched handle attaches neck to shoulder edge. The sophisticated vessel is adorned with black and white applied pigments that nicely contrast the red terracotta ground, forming a complex decorative program comprised of a fine-line netted pattern that envelops the body and flanked above and below by a horizontal band of crested wave motif. Additional ornamentation beautifies the shoulder, featuring a register of palmettes, a row of repeated, curved lines, and a series of vertical striations that travel up the neck. A lustrous black glaze covers the top half of the neck, the rim, the handle, the bottom of the vessel, and the edge of the foot. Size: 4" Diameter x 8.6" H (10.2 cm x 21.8 cm)
This piece was most likely used for storing olive oil; however, beyond this utilitarian aspect, it has an attractive narrow body and finely painted decorative program, the net motif perhaps referencing sea waters, all amounting to quite a seductive example.

GREEK ATTIC BLACK-FIGURE LEKYTHOS -
GREEK ATTIC BLACK-FIGURE LEKYTHOS - HORSE + 4 YOUTHSGreece, Athens (Attic), ca. 5th century BCE. A wonderful pottery lekythos showcasing a classic silhouette and black-figure decoration of 4 draped youths with a horse. The elegant vessel displays a discoid foot, an elongated body, a sloped shoulder that narrows to a tubular neck, a flared rim, and an arched, ribbon-form handle that connects neck to shoulder. Opposite the handle, the main scene on the body shows a horse facing right with 2 youths behind and 1 beside him, all holding long spears. A fourth male figure stands before the horse. Note the meticulous incised details that outline the figures and animal, adding clarity to the scene. The ancient lekythos is additionally embellished by a dotted pattern above the figures, a pair of horizontal bands below, and a ray motif along the shoulder. Black glaze envelops the rim, handle, bottom area, and foot. Size: 2.2" Diameter x 6.7" H (5.6 cm x 17 cm)
Lekythoi were used for storing oil employed for a wide variety of purposes in the Classical World. While larger examples were usually designated for keeping olive oil, relatively smaller more delicate examples were reserved for the bath to store precious unguents of sweet and floral aromas. This beautiful vessel was most likely created for an elegant lady's toilette.

TALL ATTIC RED-FIGURE LEKYTHOS W/
TALL ATTIC RED-FIGURE LEKYTHOS W/ MALE, FEMALE, TL'DAncient Greece, Athens, Attic, ca. late 6th to early 5th century BCE. A very fine Attic lekythos painted via the red-figure technique with a figural scene depicting a male and a female figure, the pair facing and engaging with one another. While the female is looking at the man, her feet face the opposite direction as if she is moving/dancing toward her right. She holds a large basket in her left hand and an alabastron in her right. Meanwhile, the male stands in profile, draped in a voluminous cloak, and leaning on a crook or walking stick. A sash with cross motifs and a pair of krotala, wooden clappers that a dancing girl would play while performing, are on the wall between the figures. The krotala suggest the female is an entertainer of a brothel or symposium. Perhaps the young man has come to hire the evening's entertainment. Above the scene is a register of meander and checkerboard motifs; below is a register of repeated tongues. Beautiful palmettes and tendrils adorn the shoulder of the vessel. Size: 11.75" H (29.8 cm) 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 were reserved for the bath to store precious unguents of sweet and floral aromas. Given the tall aspect of this piece, it was likely used to store olive oil for special gatherings.This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase. Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-private California, USA collection, acquired in the 1970s #142822
Condition:
Spout and possibly neck and handle have been restored with some repainting, but very well done and difficult to see. Nicks to rim of spout. Normal surface wear with minor scuffs and nicks; however, the iconography and decorative program are very strong.

GREEK BLACK-FIGURE LEKYTHOS - HOUND
GREEK BLACK-FIGURE LEKYTHOS - HOUND & HARE GROUP, TL'D**First Time At Auction**
Greece, Attic (Athens), attributed to the Hound and Hare Group, ca. 500 to 480 BCE. A splendid pottery lekythos attributed to the Hound and Hare Group - a group of Athenian black-figure vase-painters - appropriately boasting action-packed decoration of a hound pursuing a hare on the shoulder and a pair of nude athletes flanked by male youths on the body. At the top, the slender canine bounds forward, chasing his long-eared prey, who leaps off, narrowly escaping the jaws of his foe. The annular shape of the shoulder gives the impression that the 2 will forever race around the neck of the vessel, caught in an endless game of cat and mouse, or rather hound and hare. The body of the lekythos features a similarly energetic scene of 2 nude athletes sprinting right, the first with legs bent in the position of a standing start as he turns back to grab a relay baton from his partner who hurdles forward. Size: 2.4" Diameter x 4.9" H (6.1 cm x 12.4 cm)
A pair of figures draped in long chitons and himations stand to either side, each facing inward and grasping a spear or pole, as though to frame the main action of the scene. Horizontal stripes adorn the area below the runners as well as the shoulder edge, while the base, foot, spout, and handle are all enveloped in a lustrous coat of black glaze.
This lekythos has been attributed to the Hound and Hare Group of painters due to the decoration on the shoulder for which the group is known. The group was named by Beazley (following Haspels ABL) due to the unusual subject (a hound pursuing a hare) decorating the shoulder. Other lekythoi by the Hound and Hare group can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (53.192.8), the Athens Agora Museum (P24412), the British Museum (1772,0320.10.+, 1864,1007.177, and 1864,1007.179), and many other esteemed institutions throughout the world. A Hound and Hare lekythos with the same imagery on the body as this example can be found at the St. Petersburg State Hermitage Museum under accession number P1911.16.
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full printed and bound report will accompany the item upon purchase.
