Large Grand Tour Apulian Vase Volute-Krater

A superb quality red-figure pottery vase of the volute krater form, after Ancient Greek Apulian examples of the Gnatian type.

Why We Like It

We admire the timeless classical form of this vessel, but above all the archaeological accuracy of its rendering. An homage to the arts of Ancient Greece, this vase is a striking object on its own or would make a terrific lamp.

In Ancient Greece, a volute krater was a type of vessel used for mixing water and wine before consumption, usually during symposium activities or Dionysian rites.
