Massive Grand Tour Red Figure Pottery Charger

An impressive pottery charger, of Attic style, in the style of Giustiniani, Naples. Measures 22 in (56 cm) across.

Early 20th century.

Decorated with Dionysus riding a cheetah, and Ariadne with torches in her hands, all exquisitely painted within an intricate Greek key border.

An impressive and very decorative object; may be but onto a stand or hung on a wall (it has a hanging fixture to the back).

Red-figure pottery is a type of Greek pottery that flourished from the late 6th to the late 4th century BCE.
