^Lot 37 An Etruscan Pottery Wine Grouping

Extremely rare to find three matching pieces! From northern Italy, Etruria, ca. 6th century BC. Pottery grouping consisting of a large Oinochoe and two matching Kylixes; each decorated with applied pigment and etched/incised harp and serpentine motifs. Each kylix footed with sweeping handles to the sides. A lovely and rare set of which outside the Boston Museum of Fine Arts is the only one we have ever seen. Oinochoe measures 12"H, each kylix 6-1/2"W to handles. Oinochoe and one kylix repaired froma a couple larges pieces (no new clay, nor hiding of break lines); other kylix intact.

Provenance: Ex-private CA and Santa Fe, NM collections.
