Oinochoe. Bronze. Possibly Italy, 19th century. An oinochoe, also known as an oinochoe, wine vessel, or oenochoe, was used in ancient Greece to draw wine from a krater (where it was stored) before serving it. Its heyday was during the Geometric period, and several types are distinguished by the shape of the mouth and the body. Most Greek oinochoai were made of terracotta, but some were made of precious metals, presumably among the social classes who could afford them, although very few have survived. The present example appears to be inspired by earlier works (compare one in the Metropolitan Museum of Art from around 460 BC, inventory number 1970.11.1, and another in the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, inventory number 66.142.A).

Sculpture in calamine. Signed “Aug. Moreau”. Following models by Auguste Moreau, France, 19th century. It is reminiscent of works such as the bronze sculpture "The Fountain" by Mathurin Moreau, as well as pieces by Hippolyte Moreau and Auguste Moreau (France, 1834–1917). Auguste began his training as a pupil of his older brother, Mathurin. He debuted at the Paris Salon of 1861, where he exhibited regularly until 1913. He was also a member of the Société des Artistes Français. His subjects—genre scenes, pastoral scenes, allegorical works—and his realistic and graceful style link him to other members of the Moreau dynasty, known for their small-scale bronze works that were widely reproduced and inspired many other masters, both during the artists' lifetimes and after their deaths.
