Ca. 400-300 BC. Apulian. An ancient Apulian xenon-ware skyphos, i.e. a deep wine cup with a low flanged base and dual-handle below a slightly thickened and protruding rim. The body is decorated with three bands of red geometric patterns added over the deep black glaze. "Xenon Ware" refers to this particular variety of Apulian pottery which features matte red decoration added on a glossy black background. Xenon ware commonly features geometric, abstract and floral designs as opposed to animals or human figures. The term "Xenon ware" comes from a kantharos displayed at the Liebieghaus Museum in Frankfurt, Germany, which bears the inscription 'XENON' and was the basis for categorisation of this type of Apulian pottery. Size: L:65mm / W:145mm ; 148g. Provenance: From the private collection of a Kent gentleman; previously in an old British collection, formed in the 1980s on the UK /European art markets.
