Apulian red-figure lekanis from Darius-Underworld Workshop
Late Classical period, ca. 320 B.C.
Provenance: E.F. Collection, Germany.
Apulian red-figure lekanis with decoration on the lid of palmettes, and two women’s heads wearing sakkos (a kind of head covering). A lekanis was a flat covered dish with handles, that were apparently filled with food and gifts to be given to brides.
The Darius Painter and his successor, the Underworld Painter, were the most prominent of the Apulian red-figure vase painters. These painters are thought to have worked out of the same workshop, which produced a prolific number of vases in this style.

Apulian vase of Gnathian ware
Late 4th century B.C.
Provenance: Private collection, Germany.
Apulian vase of Gnathian ware. Black-glazed pottery with incised lines and painting in white and yellow. Decorated with the head of a woman wearing a sakkos (a type of head covering), in between tendrils and flowers.
Gnathian ware was one of the most widespread types of Hellenistic ware, typically characterised by yellow, red and white decorations overlaid on a black surface. This type of ceramic takes its name from Gnathia, an ancient Greek colony located in what is now modern day Eganzia, south-east Italy, where much of this ceramic type was discovered.

Campanian Black-Glazed Guttus
Hellenistic period, 2nd half of the 4th century BC, Western Greek, Campania
135 x 150 x 115mm
Provenance: L.J. collection, Netherlands; Private collection, USA. Campanian black-glazed guttus made from toned clay with ribbed body and ring handle. Decorated with moulded medallion of a satyr head with goat horns. Satyrs were part of the Thiasus, or entourage of the god Dionysus. The surface is partially rubbed, but the guttus is otherwise intact. Western Greek is a term which refers to objects produced in Greek colonies in Southern Italy. These small vessels were used to slowly pour liquid in drops — probably in the context of religious rituals such as sacrifices.
