Terracotta stemmed dish

Unknown

late 6th–early 5th century BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art

The shape of this vase is exceedingly unusual. The stem and foot recall those of black-figure drinking cups of the late sixth century--cups type A with a fillet at the junction of stem and foot. The underside of the foot here is, however, quite unarticulated. The profile of the cup vaguely resembles that of some metal funnels. The object is of a piece, and difficult to attribute.
