- Lot Description
Ancient Greece, Athens, Classical Period, ca. late 6th to 5th century BCE. A wheel-thrown pottery vessel of rare form, known as an exaleiptron or a plemochoe, with a discoid lid bearing a petite knob handle. The saucer-shaped exaleiptron exhibits a broad, carinated body with a rim that overhangs the basin, and the body tapers dramatically to form the thick, columnar foot. Black slip is applied to both lid and body, and the inner, beige-hued rim is decorated with a repeating program of black frets. Size (w/ lid): 6.6" W x 4.5" H (16.8 cm x 11.4 cm)
A similar example with no lid hammered for $9,600 at Christie's, New York "Antiquities" auction (sale 1679, June 16, 2006, lot 107).
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex T.G. Williston collection, Florida, USA, no. 462, acquired in February 2002 from Huntingdon Camba Gallery, UK; ex-Professor D.F. Slothouwer collection
