Lot 890
Attractive Caelene-Ware "Feeder." Magna Graecia, Apulian or Campanian, c. 340-310 BC. A guttus-like vessel, with nipple-shaped spout for feeding infants. With vertical ribbing, stamped floral border, and a spout molded into a charming lion's head. The open discus notched, to take a removable (strainer?) cover. Repaired, with discreet trivial restoration and paint touch up. Length: 4-1/2". A charming, less typical example of its class.
Estimated Value $400 - 550.
Cf. another example, currently with Royal-Athena Galleries, no. CBA27, cruder, but complete with cover for discus.
