Large bulbous vessel topped by cylindrical spouts and a twofold handle between them. One spout with a red strainer on the top, the other with red wash inside and a strainer on the base.
Decorated with blue-black lines, wave scrolls, an undulating line with ivy leaves and a chain design. Ornaments below the handle, floral motifs near the base.
For another larger than usual example with comparable decoration, cf. Beazley Database, vase no. 9002188.
The so-called listata style ceramic is thought to originate from the Daunian city of Canosa.
