Southern Etruria, Cerveteri, ca. 580 BC. Burnished bucchero ware chalice of Rasmussen Type 1b, supported by four flat-backed, mould-made plaques as legs, each with twin female figures in relief; on a ring base. A series of small, diamond-shaped grooves encircle the lower part of the body. A series of small incisions mark the edge of its offset base. On the recessed bottom of the interior, a series of grooves radiate outwards from a central omphalos. Its black color and lustrous finish are the result of being fired in a kiln containing no oxygen. The early examples of bucchero ware tend to have extremelyfine surfaces with silvery sheens. 6-1/2"H. Repaired, but all original.

Provenance: Ex-Sarkisian Estate, Denver, CO acquired in the 1960s.
