Three Choice Xenon Ware Miniatures. Campania or Apulia, late 4th century BC. The three charming pieces all replicating larger pottery forms. Shapes include: two mug-like olpes, and a Messapian-style kantharos, and all with excellent black glaze. Again, all with red overpaint ornament. The krater with two panels having wave patterns, each different from the other. One olpe with petals at shoulders and wreath at waist, while the other is similar, but with meander pattern at waist. All intact and beautifully preserved. Heights: 2-1/8" - 2-1/2". Delightful little antiquities!
Estimated Value $350 - 500.
