G31

Greek Hellenistic fine red pottery bowl

£180

A low and wide pottery bowl with a rounded base and inward curving rim.

This bowl has an unusual and very elegant construction which allows the inside and the outside surfaces to flow in an uninterrupted line: there is no definition or profile between the rim and base. The vessel is perfectly balanced and stands unassisted.

Greek, Hellenistic, c. 1st Century BC.

A few very minor chips, basically intact.

Size: 16.5 x 4 cms

Provenance: Ex. Blomberg collection, Sweden. Acquired c. 1950's.
