Terracotta oinochoe (jug) 300 BC

This black-glazed terracotta oinochoe (jug), dating back to 300 BC, is a fine example of the Group of Vienna O.565 style, known for their distinctive black-gloss glaze. The jug features a slender body with vertical grooves and a gracefully curved handle. The black glaze is enriched with delicate gold details, showcasing the craftsmanship of the ancient Greek potters. This oinochoe, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a testament to the elegance and artistry of ancient Greek ceramics.
