A note on provenance

The findspots for individual vessels derive from the data provided by the institutions currently holding the objects. We recognize the academic and ethical significance of secure archaeological provenance in the study of ancient Greek vase painting, while also valuing the role of cultural heritage institutions in preserving and making this material accessible. We have included all examples available to us in order to present as complete a picture as possible of the material, while remaining attentive to the interpretive limitations posed by unprovenanced objects.
