Plate
Etruscan
6th – 5th century BC
Bronze
Diameter 27.5 and 5.5 cm height

PROVENANCE: Private collection F. C., Barcelona. Acquired in a private collection of Marvonne Chenel, south of France. 1980.

CONDITION: Nice bronze color patina. Good state of preservation, original state.

DESCRIPTION:

Made of relatively expensive bronze, rather than ceramic, metal plates like this example were probably part of the tableware owned by wealthy or aristocratic individuals.

Utilitarian vessels for the serving of wine, like this Etruscan plate, were popular in the classical world beginning in the early Geometric period. They were very popular in symposia. Different models of this vessels (jugs, plates, bowls) were exported all around the Mediterranean, particularly to Italy, and as can be seen with this example, they were assimilated into the Etruscan culture. The general shape of the vessel continued for centuries and well into the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Etruscan art received direct influences from figurative Greek art, fundamentally as concerned the conception of the human body and naturalist depictions. This can be seen clearly in the wide production of terracotta sculpture from the 6th century BC and in the fresh colours used to decorate necropolis.

Photos trop contrastées pour bien percevoir les défauts, mais ces défauts étaient visibles pour autant. Le "Bon état" est trompeur. Sinon, envoi rapide et correctement emballé. Frais de port exagérés.
