BASIL FAIR IN SWIZERLAND IS MY FAVORITE, BUT IT IS TIME TO PART WITH A FEW OF MY PRIZED PIECES. RESERVES WILL NOT BE DISCLOSED AND ARE WELL BELOW CHRISTIES/SOTHEBY'S REALIZED PRICES. THIS PIECE IS A 4TH CENTURY BCE BELL KRATER, USED FOR MIXING WINE. MEASURING ALMOST 13" TALL AND IS INTACT EXCEPT FOR A SMALL CHIP ON THE PHALUS. MOST EXPERST THROUGH THE YEARS HAVE EXPLAINED THAT THIS KRATER WAS PROBABLY IN AN EARLY EUROPEAN COLLECTION AND AT A TIME WHEN PHALLUS'S WERE DEAMED VULGER, THE OWNER CHIPED THE TIP OFF.ABSOLUTLY NO OVER PAINTING OR RESTORATION. SCENE IS TYPICAL SHOWING EROS AND A MANEAD. COMES WITH THE OXFORD TL TEST WICH CONFIRMS THE AGE .PLEASE SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS AND EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS OR FOR SERIOUS BIDDERS, CALL 323-656-2424.
