Ancient Greek Attic black glazed pottery kylix
A superb intact, one handle rejoined, Attic Black-Glazed pottery Kylix with extensive root deposits. Attic pottery surpassed that of all other centres, both in its craftsmanship and in the quality of its brilliant orange-red clay. Whilst Athens is most famous for its decorated ware, both black-figure and red-figure, its potters also produced many undecorated pieces with a black glaze. That glaze is usually shiny with a metallic tinge.

Dating to the Classical Period, Circa 4th Century BC.

Measures Diameter 24cm / height 9cm.

Ex-Mckenzie auctions Perth Western Australia, previously the property of a private West Australian collector.
