Céramique couverte d'une glaçure noire, Art Grec, Région Athènes, Vème / IVème siècle av. J.-C. Très belle conservation, pièce intacte, juste quelques dépôt calcaires Diamètre : 6,2 cm - hauteur 3,1 cm Black varnish Greek ceramics were a distinctive style of pottery produced in ancient Greece. They featured a glossy, black finish achieved through a special firing process.

The combination of the varnish and intricate artwork showcased the skilled craftsmanship of ancient Greek potters. Provenance : Allemagne, H.G.R..
