Small Attic plate of the glossy earthenware. Late... Lot 17

Small Attic plate of the glossy earthenware. Late 6th - early 5th century BC. H 6,2cm, ø 10,8cm. Few tiny bumps, otherwise intact with a wonderful shimmering lustre tone. From the private collection of Dr. Eberhard Hanfstaengl (1886-1973), in a Bavarian private collection since at least the 1960s. Eberhard Hanfstaengl was a German art historian and director of the Berlin National Gallery from 1934 to 1937 and general director of the Bavarian State Painting Collections from 1945 to 1953. Like his cousin Ernst Hanfstaengl (1887-1975), he was initially a very active supporter of the National Socialists. However, both fell out of favor in 1937. Ernst Hanfstaengl then fled first to Switzerland and then to Great Britain and finally emigrated to the USA, but returned to Germany after the war. Eberhard Hanfstaengl, on the other hand, lost his Berlin museum post, but nevertheless worked afterwards at the Bruckmann publishing house in Munich, which was close to the NSDAP.
