Asta Bidspirit | Large group of Greek Black-Glazed


Large group of Greek Black-Glazed vessels; 4th - 3rd centuries BC; different sizes. This unique lot proposed is composed of a rich group of vessels, which are interesting examples of the Campanian and Apulian black-glazed manufacture. The lot includes fragments and vessels partially preserved, as bell kraters, lebes, lekanis lids, olpai, cup-skyphos, dishes, guttos, oinochoai and cups in different sizes. Provenance: Collection returned by the German Judicial Authority to Herakles Numismatik und Antiquitäten GmbH (München), who acquired it on the European art market since the 1970s; from 2000s the entire collection is located in the United Kingdom; some objects of this collection were bought subsequently by the Italian Government (e.g.: bari.repubblica.it - Archeologia, torna in Puglia la stele dauna di oltre 2.500 anni fa: presa all'asta con una colletta). Almost all objects need restoration, if well executed will be an excellent investment, also a good exercise for scientific or academic purposes. Lot sold as seen, no returns.
