Greek Terracotta 'Plastic' Dolphin Vessel

Rare form! Ancient Greek / South Italic Dolphin Vessel, from Sicily (just a bit earlier than Apulian), ca. 5th to 4th century B.C. Terracotta plastic vessel, so referred to because it was molded or modeled with three-dimensional accessory in the form of a human figure, an animal or some other natural object. In the form of a dolphin with hole in both the mouth and tail - perhaps an askos? Vessel itself measures 8-3/4"L x 2-5/8"D, completely intact/in excellent condition, save light surface encrustation.

PROVENANCE: Ex-Rockford College Art Collection, ex-Harlan J. Berk Gallery.
