Item Details
Description
Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Apulia, ca. 350 to 300 BCE. In wiring this I looked at every Greek plate we have ever handled. There were well over a dozen with the venerable Lady of Fashion, looking right?, etc. This is the first and only example we have handled with a scene much more commonly shown on larger vessels like amphorae and bell kraters. Scene presents a feminine maenad, draped in a flowing garment, a beaded necklace, and drop earring as well as a saccos over her upswept coiffure. She sits upon a rocky outcrop, her body in composite profile, holding a patera in her outstretched left hand as if presenting it to someone in front of her. Often, in Greek pottery this would have been a young Dionysus. Behind her is a flowering plant with fillet to her front. Back is 100% glazed in black.

Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-Harry Wallace collection, acquired in the 1980s, by descent to D.B., New Paltz, New York, USA
