ATTIC SQUAT NET LEKYTHOS

Ca. 350 BC A wheel-thrown Attic pottery lekythos with a black figure scheme. A lustrous black glaze net shaped with white points decoration envelops the body from shoulder to foot, with areas of unglazed, pale-orange pottery peeking through. The shoulder is decorated with black glaze circles, its planar form gradually tapering to a narrow neck and a flared rim. A petite applied strap handle in black arches gracefully above the shoulder, and the entire vessel rests atop a small tiered foot.
