| The Greeks in Southern Italy. Campanian guttus(oil lamp filler) with ring handle set at right angles to the elongated spout. The sides of the bowl are striated and the discus has in relief the head of Medusa. The surface has a metallic black glaze, other than a band around the upper foot and the underside of the vase, which are reserved. Calene ware, c. 300 B.C. 3.9 inch diameter. Repair where neck meets shoulder, otherwise in wonderful condition. The medallion of the piece somewhat rare. Ex: Charles Ede, London | |||||
