The lip cup of elegant form with the tall hollow stem flaring out to a delicately modelled foot. On the exterior the stem and handles are black, as are the lower bowl, a broad band below the handle zone and narrower bands defining the offset lip and rim. The interior of the bowl is covered with fine concentric circles in dilute slip with a broader circle and dot at the centre.

Provenance

Aitken Collection, London, UK, acquired in the 1970s-90s

With Charles Ede Limited, London, 2011, Catalogue 183, no. 16

Literature

A fine example of a type which appears increasingly rarely on the market. Compare Oxford, Ashmolean Museum: 1929.782 (Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum: Oxford, Ashmolean Museum 2, 89, pl. 401, nos. 10.28, 10.29). Also M. R. Jentoft-Nilsen, CVA, USA XXX, J. Paul Getty Museum, Malibu, Molly and Walter Bareiss Collection, J. Paul Getty Museum, 1994, p. 3, pl. 242. Ionian examples can be differentiated from their Attic equivalents by the fine interior lines, which on the latter are in added red.
