      AWG0000.03.05
      \nGreek, South Italian (Apulian)
      \nLate Classical period (400-300 BCE)<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Material: Ceramic
      \n<\/span>Technique: Black-glazed<\/span><\/p>\n

      Weight: 107g
      \n<\/span>Dimensions: 5.7 cm high, base diameter 4 cm, max. diameter 9.5 cm
      \n<\/span>Condition: good; entirely intact, with some mineral encrustation<\/span><\/p>\n

      Provenance: Unknown
      \n<\/span>Source\/donor: Collection of Stuart L. Wheeler
      \n<\/span>Date of acquisition: Prior to 1990<\/span><\/p>\n

      Detailed description of form\/shape:
      \n<\/strong>Small, round cup with a horizontal handle of triangular-loop shape, squared in section. Rim slightly out-turned, with a squared lip. Rounded base with tall ring foot.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Detailed description of decoration:
      \n<\/strong>Black slip applied to red-orange clay over the whole surface of the vessel, except for the bottom of the ring foot (which is reserved). A band of black slip around the top portion of the body was applied better than on the lower portion. The splotchy finish reflects uneven conditions in the kiln during the firing process.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Comparanda:
      \n<\/strong>A very close parallel for both the shape and style is the Apulian (South Italian) cup, <\/span>      Metropolitan Museum of Art\u00a0 1971.11.7<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>For an earlier one-handled black-glazed small cup of a different shape, see the Etruscan cup in the <\/span>Penn Museum MS5827<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Discussion:
      \n<\/strong>Black-glazed cups were widespread throughout the Mediterranean in the Classical period, with the one-handled version \u201cone of the commonest shapes in the black glaze repertoire\u201d (Sparkes and Talcott 1970, 126). The small size of this cup and the triangular shape of its handle are most comparable with fourth-century cups like the Apulian one in the <\/span>      Metropolitan Museum<\/span><\/a> noted above, though the foot on our cup is taller and the rim is slightly out-turned. Our cup also differs from the Met cup in having a matte rather than glossy black slip. Small cups like this may have been intended for use by children or for symbolic use as votive offerings at sanctuaries or in graves.<\/span><\/p>\n
