GROUP OF APULIAN AND CAMPANIAN VESSELS AND FRAGMENTS
5th - 4th century BC

This large lot is composed of a rich group of vessels, which are interesting examples of the Apulian and Campanian manufacture. The lot includes a red-figure restored krater, calyx type, lids and various fragments of kylikes or skyphoi, amphorae, olpai and kraters. Several fragments are also in black-figure. The iconographic themes refer to the Dionysian and ritual sphere. 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.
