Ca. 400-300 BC. A jug boasting a voluptuous bulbous body, expertly crafted to showcase its curves and contours. The smooth, funnel-shaped mouth is perfectly suited for pouring liquids, while the arched handle adds a touch of grace and sophistication to the design. What truly sets this jug apart, however, is the deep, lustrous black glaze that covers its entire surface. The contrast between the deep black glaze and the pale clay of the foot creates a striking visual effect that is both timeless and modern. Attic black glaze ceramics have long been revered for their beauty and practicality. The black glaze not only adds an element of elegance to the pieces but also serves a functional purpose by making them more durable and easier to clean.Size: L:70mm / W:80mm ; 85gProvenance: Private London collection, B.A.; formerly in pre-2000 European collection.
