Ancient Greek Ceramic - Very rare duck-shaped askos - 4th/3rd century BC.

RARE GREEK ASKOS Ceramic askos with red and brown glaze. Duck-shaped vase resting on a circular base, a bifid handle in a bridge connecting the neck to the tail. Complete and intact ceramic vessels from the ancient world are rare, and while askoi—as a general class of vessels—are well represented in collections worldwide, duck-shaped askoi are comparatively rare. A similar form, though flatter than this specimen, can be found, but the inclined form that characterizes this askos is found only in a handful of museums around the world (including the Louvre, Genoa, Capua, Mainz, Sèvres). Others appear only in private collections. The excellent quality of the finish on this Askos, despite the passage of the millennia, and its charming zoomorphic character with well-proportioned curves, give it a strong aesthetic significance. Although wheel-made, it was finished by hand by the potter, demonstrating a high degree of technical achievement. Beige terracotta with red-brown glaze, Greece, 4th/3rd century BCE. Height 13.6 cm - Length 13.2 cm Excellent condition – intact Provenance: United Kingdom, A.P.L.
