ARTISTIC REPRODUCTION N. 17 KANTAROS IMPASTO

This is a terracotta artistic reproduction of a kantaros in impasto with two handles. This reproduction is made entirely by hand, turned and aged by local artists. To obtain this result, the local master potters had to make many attempts to reproduce these vases.

They are also artificially patinated by hand to give the object an "antique" effect, even if the decorations imitate the originals of the vases found in the Etruscan tombs of Cerveteri and other Etruscan necropolises, they are the result of the work and ingenuity of every master potter, and each work is unique and different from the other, they may seem similar but they are not.

The Kantaros a vessel used to drink wine taken from the craters. A widespread form since the earliest times, it is called impasto because they were not decorated and the vase took on the color of clay after firing. These vases are unmistakable because of the clay with which they were made, in fact this clay once cooked takes on a very brown color, different from other Greek vases which after cooking are more red in color.

This KANTAROS reproduction of IMPASTO with two handles is 17cm tall, with a 4.5cm foot and a 16cm border at the handles, with handmade artificial patination, like everything else, reference number 17

This is a unique piece, entirely turned, graffitied, baked and patinated by hand.
