A Group of Three Grand Tour Ceramic Vessels, in the Geometric, Corinthian, and "Bilingual" Styles, 19th c., height of tallest 11 1/4 in Note: This group of Black-Figure (as well as Black-and-Red-Figure) vases features a pseudo-Geometric Lekythos, in which black stick-figure forms are painted on a buff ground, in the familiar "Dipylon" style; a pseudo-Corinthian Aryballos, in which animals executed in both black and red pigments are seen on a central band interspersed with rosettes; and a striking White-Ground Lekythos, in which worshipping figures in both Black- and Red-Figure styles (in imitation of the so-called "Bilingual" manner) are enlarged on a monumental frieze, between foliate and rayed ornament. The quality of the painting and patination is uniformly high, and suggests that these fine Grand Tour ceramics may be the product of a sophisticated Neapolitan workshop.
