Apulian Grand Tour Satyr’s Head Vase

A superb quality, wonderfully decorative pottery vase after an Ancient Greek example of Archaic style, and exquisitely modelled as a cheeky bearded Satyr’s head.  

Why We Like It

Rendered with astonishing archeological accuracy, this vase is undoubtedly a head-turner. It can make a cheeky sculpture, a fabulous flower vase (with a liner) or an absolutely terrific lamp.

A similarly decorated ancient cup is held at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio.

Satyrs occupy a delightful moral grey zone in Greek mythology — being not gods and not men, they are creatures gloriously devoted to pleasure, often associated with Dionysos, the god of wine.
