Grall, France, acquis en France en Octobre 2012 A Canosan plastic oenochoe in the shape of a duck. The hollow body of the bird rests on a tall, bell-shaped flaring base with a rim. The neck of the vase, with a delicate trefoil lip and a high arching handle is attached to the back of the duck. Buff fine clay of the vessel is painted with a thin coat of white gesso.
