Phoenix Ancient Art S.A.

This playful vase is meticulously modeled in the shape of a dead hare. Its head and ears are thrown back with the mouth open, revealing sharp incisors. The forepaws extend forward, and the underbelly of the hare is a pale yellow. The painted detail is painstaking and extensive: the all-over brown stippling to indicate the fur, the white-dotted brown rims of the ears with their red interiors, and the red and brown disk eyes with incised and brown-painted borders. This seemingly simple vase is the finest example of its kind, fully imbued with the sensitivity and skill of the East Greek potters
