Lot Essay
PUBLISHED:
C. M. Stibbe, Lakonische Vasenmaler des Sechsten Jahrhunderts v. Chr., Supplement, Mainz, 2004, p. 159, no. 13, pls. 12-13.
For a further discussion on Laconian kylikes and the Boread Painter, cf. J. Boardman, Early Greek Vase Painting, London, 1998, pp. 185-187, and p. 207, pl. 418 for similar. The pomegranate friezes and nets, spiky lotuses and buds are characteristic of Laconian ornament. The Boread Painter directed one of the most important pottery workshops in Sparta some time between 575 and 550 B.C. and, although working in the black-figure technique, is recognised for the use of colour on his ornament. He may also have been a potter. Although only a few works have been identified by him it is thought that he probably decorated only cups and not larger vessels.
