Footnotes
Such oinochoe vessels were produced in southern Italy from the 4th century B.C., most probably in the Greek colony of Campania. These vessels were characterised by a bulbous body with an elegant design, and by a black metallic glaze of a very fine quality, conferring a marvellous, smooth exterior surface.
