COLLECTION OF XENON WARE VESSELS. Ca. 400 - 300 BC. A collection of three Xenon ware vessels, each with a black-glazed surface and added red-painted decoration. The vessel on the left is a kantharos with a biconical body that tapers towards a flared pedestal foot. Two high-swung handles rise above the rim and attach at the shoulder. The exterior is adorned with a framed band of vertical strokes. The central vessel is a skyphos with a deep, slightly tapering body that rests on a small flaring foot. Two horizontal handles extend from opposite sides just below the rim. The exterior features a vine tendril band running along the upper section, with small grape clusters interspersed along its length. The vessel on the right is an oinochoe with a piriform body that tapers towards a ring foot. A trefoil mouth sits atop a short, narrow neck, and a single handle extends from the rim to the shoulder. Horizontal bands and a central frieze with a zigzag pattern encircle the body.
