Ca. 350 BC.A pottery skyphos featuring deep, curved sides that create a generous and elegant cup shape, resting on a sturdy ring foot. The vessel is fitted with two equally spaced loop handles, positioned on either side of the cup, allowing for easy and comfortable handling of the vessel. Most of the surface of the skyphos is covered in a rich black slip, apart from the foot. Just below the rim runs a decorative pattern. The black slip not only enhances the beauty of the piece but also protects it from the elements and makes it more durable. The skyphos was a popular drinking vessel in ancient Greece, used for serving wine and other beverages during social occasions or banquets. It was often passed around among guests, and the handles allow for easy and comfortable sharing of the drink. The deep, curved sides of the skyphos also helped to reduce spillage, making it a practical and functional vessel for drinking. Size: L:90mm / W:140mm ; 90g Provenance: Property of a central London Gallery; formerly in a South English estate collection; acquired in the 1990s from Andre de Munter, Brussels, Belgium; previously in and old European collection.

5th century B.C. Comprising the bottom part of a cup-skyphos or pyxis, decorated with concentric circles in red and black, the internal part painted with the image of a young athlete, wrapped in a short chlamys and leaning upon his staff, the ground represented as a concave space. Cf. Boardman, J., Athenian Red Figure Vases. The Archaic period, London, 1975, fig.81. 95 grams, 12.5 cm (5 in.). Acquired in Europe before 1990.This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate no.11810-206516. The everyday life of ancient Greeks is well represented on the Attic red figure paintings. The short cloak (chlamys) is the favourite garment for the men and the hair of the younger men is more often shown cropped than in the black Attic figure paintings. The nakedness of youths exercising at the palaistra could well have been an important source of inspiration for the Greek artists who were becoming increasingly aware of the possibilities to represent the physiology of subtle movement in paintings. The Thaliarchos painter is generally recognised as the artist of the tops of some powder-box pyxides, although it is not excluded that he was actively painting various types of vessels. The type of ground and the way in which the foot of the man is worked can support the thesis that the fragment is from his workshop.

Ca. 375-300 BC.A skyphos with a body that elegantly tapers down to a circular, flat foot, and is adorned with two opposing handles that are oriented horizontally. The partially glazed surface of this cup bears a captivating black glaze with vegetal decoration. Gnathian ware is a type of Greek pottery that was popular during the Hellenistic period, characterized by its fine-quality, glossy black glaze and intricate decorative patterns. The intricate nature of the gnathian ware, combined with its beauty and durability, made it highly desirable amongst the ancient Greeks, who would often use it for various occasions. The skyphos, on the other hand, was a popular drinking cup used in ancient Greece. It was often used in symposia, or drinking parties, where guests would share wine and engage in philosophical or intellectual discussions. This skyphos would have been the perfect accompaniment to such an event. Size: L:100mm / W:130mm ; 135g Provenance: Property of a central London Gallery; formerly in a South English estate collection; acquired in the 1990s from Andre de Munter, Brussels, Belgium; previously in and old European collection.

Ca. 300 BC.Skillfully crafted from pottery and adorned with artistic precision, this skyphos showcases the exceptional artistry inherent in Gnathian ceramics. The skyphos itself is characterized by a striking black glaze enveloping its body, with the lower portion left unglazed, culminating in a rounded and flat base. A skyphos is a distinctive type of ancient Greek drinking vessel, primarily utilized for serving wine. Its design consists of a cup-shaped form with two horizontal handles symmetrically affixed to opposite sides. These handles facilitate a comfortable grip, enabling users to hold and manipulate the vessel with ease. In this particular skyphos, the front face stands out with its captivating grapevine motif, intricately painted with white, red, and yellow pigments. The back side, in contrast, features a simpler design comprising a horizontal line flanked by white dots, adding a subtle yet complementary visual element. For a similar, please see The Brooklyn Museum, Accession Number 22.31. Size: L:80mm / W:120mm ; 110g Provenance: Property of London Ancient Art gallery, acquired in the Dutch art market.

Ca. 350 BC.A black slip skyphos featuring deep, curved sides that create a generous and elegant cup shape, resting on a sturdy ring foot. The vessel is fitted with two equally spaced loop handles, positioned on either side of the cup, allowing for easy and comfortable handling of the vessel. The entire surface of the skyphos is covered in a rich black slip, a technique that was widely used in ancient Greece to create a smooth and lustrous surface on the pottery. The black slip not only enhances the beauty of the piece but also protects it from the elements and makes it more durable. The skyphos was a popular drinking vessel in ancient Greece, used for serving wine and other beverages during social occasions or banquets. It was often passed around among guests, and the handles allow for easy and comfortable sharing of the drink. The deep, curved sides of the skyphos also helped to reduce spillage, making it a practical and functional vessel for drinking. Cf. The Brooklyn Museum, Accession Number 05.3. Size: L:80mm / W:140mm ; 90g Provenance: Property of a London Ancient Art gallery, formerly English private collection, according to the heirs possibly purchased in some auction or Art Gallery during 1970s-1980s.

A Roman obsidian skyphos Circa 1st Century B.C.–1st Century A.D.5.9cm high, 13.4cm diam. incl. handlesFootnotes:Provenance:The Ludwig Herinek collection, Vienna, 1970s. Anonymous sale; Christie's, London, 6 October 2011, lot 205. The Nico F. Bijnsdorp Collection (NFB 266), acquired from the above sale.Exhibited:The National Museum of Antiquities, Leiden (NL), 'GLASS', 1 June 2020 – 28 February 2021.Obsidian vessels rarely survive from the Roman period. The technique of engraving decorative details onto these vessels is known to us primarily from surviving fragments, though the stippled decoration on this skyphos is without parallel. For an undecorated skyphos see an example sold at Christie's, New York, 5 & 6 December 2001, lot 626; for an obsidian fragment cut with a design of vine leaves, see the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, acc. no. 17.194.2359.Though survivals are rare, it is apparent that obsidian vessels were a luxury object in the Roman world. See S. M. Goldstein, Pre-Roman and Early Roman Glass in the Corning Museum of Glass, New York, 1979, p. 285, no. 858 for an obsidian vessel fragment formerly in the Sangiorgi collection with engraved design; the fragmentary remains of a handle in the form of a feline demonstrates how ornate these luxury objects were in antiquity. In May 1954 three obsidian skyphoi, with similar handles to the present lot, were excavated in Villa San Marco, Castellammare di Stabia. They are ostentatiously decorated with inlays of gold and mosaic depicting Egyptianising scenes. They are now in the Naples Archaeological Museum (inv. nos 294471/2/3; reproduced in S. Walker and P.
