Ca. 400-300 BC. A small cup from the Attic region, crafted with exquisite attention to detail. The hemispherical cup is seamlessly joined with a flared concave foot, and the walls of the cup gently curve inward, creating a sense of harmony and balance. What sets this cup apart is its stunning black glossy glaze, covering the entirety of its surface. In ancient Greece, ceramics were an integral part of daily life, used for everything from dining to storage. The Attic black glaze ceramics, in particular, were prized for their practicality and elegance. The smooth curves of this small cup, paired with its rich black glaze, make it a timeless piece that would have been just as at home in an ancient Greek household as it is today.Size: L:45mm / W:75mm ; 75gProvenance: Private London collection, B.A.; formerly in pre-2000 European collection.
