South Italy, Ca. 5th-4th Century BC. Beautiful and Intact! Dipper features horizontal dark brown and red stripes on the sides of the dipper and the rim. The handle is painted with four dot groupings, divided by a red vertical stripe and framed by parallel brown stripes. The base is decorated with an eight spoke wheel, which is surrounded by geometric designs that have been largely worn away over time. 3-3/4"H x 6-1/4"W. There is a small hairline crack on the lip, but is very stable. It is incredibly rare to find an intact dipper such as this one!

Provenance: Ex-Bryon Farwell Collection. Part of a 209 piece collection of ancient pottery featured in the book, "The Farwell Collection" published in 1953 by Franklin P. Johnson, University of Chicago art historian and archaeologist. Byron Farwell was a young Army captain stationed in Italy during WW II, and pieces presented in this book were personally excavated by him in 1944/45 in Ordonia, Italy.
