Descrizione : 7th century BC. An impasto jug (Etruscan qutum) with a flat base, the bulbous body with a short, near-vertical rim slightly inset from the vestigial shoulder, high-swung handle with square-cut edges. See Hayes J.W., Etruscan and Italic pottery in the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, 1985. 313 grams. 11.5cm (4 1/2). From the private collection of Antony John Scammell (1937-2019), acquired from Ostracon, Thalwil, Switzerland 2014, accompanied by the original invoice and certificate of authenticity from Ostracon. The brown impasto ceramic was the forerunner of black Etruscan bucchero. The defining characteristic of the impasto ceramic is that the clay contains chips of mica or stone. Antony John Scammell (1937-2019) was born, and lived his entire life, in the city of Bristol, England. Already from an early age he was enthralled by history and the heroes that it created. While serving overseas with the British Army, Antony began collecting coins and banknotes and this led to collecting a variety of different items throughout his life. From the early 1960s onward, Antony invested in acquiring ancient artefacts. Antony's vast collections started with Egyptian antiquities, but soon branched into Greek and Roman civilisations. The Roman civilisation fascinated him most and, when family commitments allowed, archaeological digs were coordinated in the west of England. These digs uncovered numerous artefacts, many of which were donated to local museums. In retirement, the collecting continued apace, branching into UK coins, British Empire banknotes and fossils.
