- Curator's comments
- This vase was found in same tomb as the Pasiades alabastron (GR 1887,0801.61) and a silver ring with a gold fly on the bezel (GR 1887,0801.63). Klein, Meistersig2. p. 221. For vases inscribed with this salutation, see Pottier 1894 in Rev. des Ét. Gr. 1894, p. 40: he attributes them to an artist Paidicos, whose signature is associated with Πpoσayopeύω on an alabastron in the Louvre.
