Aryballos with animals

Etrusco-Corintian, c. 570 BC.

Pottery

Height 6 cm

PROVENANCE: Private collection, Switzerland since the 1970s. Part of the collection was on loan to the Archaeological Collection of the University of Zurich until the end of 2022.

CONDITION: Good state, restored.


DESCRIPTION:

This typology of vase had its origin in Corinth, the city on the isthmus that joins the Peloponnese to continental Greece. Centuries later this type would be copied in Attic workshops. In Corinth, the master potters imitated the design of those perfume flasks made of coloured glass which were in use among the highest social classes, so as to be able to offer a more economical version. The spherical or globular aryballoi were exported all over the Mediterranean basin, and totally dominated the trade in small vases with the exception of some coming from the eastern Greek regions. Archaeologists claim that, already in the proto-Corinthian period (720-630 BC), artisans had developed the black-figure technique, using incisions and purple colour to emphasize certain details (Metropolitan Museum of New York n. 41.162.164). This innovative technique implied a differentiation in their art, as in Athens at that time the more abstract geometric motifs were still dominant.

Snelle en correcte levering, alleen was de verpakking voor het schilderij niet stevig genoeg.

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.
