CANOSAN POTTERY VOLUTE KRATER W/ EQUESTRIAN & NIKE, TL**First Time At Auction**
Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Apulia, Canosa, ca. 4th to 3rd century BCE. A gorgeous polychrome volute krater, meticulously hand-painted with mythological imagery and molded, janiform Medusa mask terminals surmounting each handle. Supported by a platform foot, the body of the vessel features a nude rider on horseback, his long cape flapping behind him as he raises a spear with one hand and holds a shield in the other, flanked by classical columns on either side. The head of Nike, the goddess of victory, adorns each side of the neck, her wings spread as her idyllic visage gazes outward, surrounded by scrolling motifs. The shoulder boasts a tongued pattern, as meander designs are shown above Nike, and lattice decoration embellishes the rim. Additional scrolls ornament the handles as well as the verso of the body, accompanied by intricate abstract designs of palmettes, wheels, wings, and ray motifs. A truly breathtaking example of ancient south Italic pottery! Size: 8.3" W x 14.1" H (21.1 cm x 35.8 cm)
Canosa - Canusion, in antiquity - was a major center of the ceramics and pottery trade when it was a Greek polis. It produced truly unique pottery, completely different in decoration style (although not in shape) from earlier and neighboring traditions. The clay is buff, with the decoration applied directly to it without the use of slip; the pink, blue, and red here are among the coveted colors found on these vessels. The hole in the bottom of the vase signifies that this was made solely for funerary purposes (and it's quite cool to look inside and see the clay that was pushed up through the bottom to form a hole). In ancient Greek practice, a bottomless vase like this was placed over a grave and offerings like wine were poured straight through it. Others, like this one, were never used but were buried in the tomb beside the deceased to evoke this custom. The funerary theme of the piece also indicates that it was made solely for burial purposes.
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full printed and bound report will accompany the item upon purchase.

Tall Canosan White-Slipped Oinochoe Female Head: Magna Graecia, Southeast Italy, Canosan, ca. 350 to 250 BCE.

The lady is further bedecked with floral-inspired earrings.

A high arching, ribbed handle joins her shoulders/head to the back of the head below as she is gathering and lifting the folds of her drapery in her right hand, advancing with her left foot, and placing her left hand behind her back. Clearly intended for a dear departed and beloved fair lady, this vessel is a poignant memorial with a striking form and liberal pink, blue, and creamy white pigments. . .

The Eight Immortals of the Wine Cup were a group of scholars renowned for their love of alcoholic beverages. The extract above is from a poem dedicated to them by the acclaimed Tang poet Du Fu. Li Shizi, Duke of Qinghe (died 747), is the third Immortal to appear in the poem. He served as a chancellor during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong. Li Shizhi particularly enjoyed entertaining guests and was said to be able to drink two litres of wine without losing his lucidity. This cup would have been part of a set of eight, each depicting one of the Immortals. For an example of a similar cup with another Immortal, Su Jin, see Christie's Hong Kong 2009, lot 1895..

Chinese Qing Porcelain Meiping Vase w/ Dragon: East Asia, China, Qing dynasty, ca. 19th century CE. A gorgeous stoneware vase exhibiting a reverse pear-shaped body with a gracefully rounded shoulder, a narrow, conical neck, and a flared, annular rim, all sitting upon a circular, concave base. Boasting a lustrous burnish, this elegant vessel is adorned with the depiction of 2 white dragons in low relief, intricately incised with detail and accented in a hue of scarlet. The ferocious beasts present serpentine bodies that meanders along the sides of the ancient vessel, causing one's eye to travel up and down the vase's voluptuous form. Petite spikes line the beasts' lengthy spines as their heads face upward, as though about to let out blazing breaths. The fantastical creatures stretch their muscular legs outwards, displaying elongated talons. The remainder of the glaze is enveloped in a lustrous powder blue glaze and incised with 4 decorative registers, 2 embellished with a vegetal motif, 1 bearing a design of flowers and ducks, and the last showing 2 dragons chasing a lion. The fantastical creature stretches its muscular legs outwards, displaying elongated talons. A pair of Chinese characters can be found on the base, likely praising the workmanship of the piece. Though made in the 19th century, this elegant vessel is decorated in the style of the Yuan dynasty (1271 to 1368 CE) as evident by its light blue underglaze and the Yuan Dynasty mark on its base. Size: 10. 5" in diameter x 16. 25" H (26. 7 cm x 41. 3 cm). . Inspired by the female form, this vase is known as a "meiping, " or "prunus vase, " which is a stoneware vessel first used to store wine. During the Song dynasty, vessels of this form became popular to use for displaying branches of plum blossoms, hence the name "prunus vase. " . . In China, dragons have traditionally symbolized auspicious powers involving control over rainfall, water, floods, and typhoons. Dragons are mythological symbols of good luck, strength, and power as well as the seasonal cycles and the supernatural. Dragons were displayed as a sign of physical and spiritual protection! . .
