American collector before 2000. Property of a Spanish gentleman. Property of a Sussex, UK, teacher. Accompanied by a copy of a Spanish cultural export licence.
This vessel was likely to have been made in a workshop in Cerveteri, belonging to the category of the so-called bucchero sottile, (thin bucchero, 675-625 B.C.) although some were produced at Tarquinia, and many distributed as far as Carthage and beyond. Decoration of this kind of kotyles (Rasmussen type c) are composed of simple groups of horizontal and vertical lines. Closed fans, whether horizontal or vertical, may be included at handle-level, below the usual pair of lines below the rim.
