South Italy, Subgeometric, circa 550 to 475 BC. 

The delicate vessel stands on a small flaring foot and has a pointed lower body swelling to a rounded shoulder, with a wide everted rim and twin arched handles rising just above the lip. The bichrome decoration, red and umber on a light slip, with stacked bands, pendant tongue/tear‑drop motifs on shoulder and rim, and simple reserved interior is typical of Subgeometric style. 

The form and painted decoration point to a workshop in South Italy (Magna Graecia), likely a Greek colonial or strongly Hellenized local center, where Greek drinking customs and Attic shapes were adapted into local fabrics in the late 6th to early 5th century BC.
