- Lot Description
Ancient Greece, Macedonian, second half of 5th century BCE. A breathtaking and quite hefty gilt silver bowl comprised of a very pure silver (95% silver) with gilding on the beautiful floral pattern decorating the exterior wall. At the center is an open petaled flower with one layer of gilded petals alternating with silver petals. This is surrounded by a gilded ring border. In turn, very large petals with wonderfully delineated ridged veining adorns most of the remaining exterior walls - for in silver alternating with four compound stylized petals that are gilded. Finally, the outer border is liberally gilded. Size: 3.875" in diameter x 2.625" H (9.8 cm x 6.7 cm)
While not possessing a typical phiale form presenting an omphalos, this may have been a variant of the special libation bowl used across a wide geographical area - from Greece to Tibet, throughout the ancient Near East and Central Asia. These shallow bowls for holding wine in ritual and ceremonial settings were made from many materials - glass, ceramic, bronze, and precious metals.
Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection, ex-Frances Artuner Collection, Belgium 1960’s
