ProvenanceSaid to come from the collection of “Dr. Schlieman” [see note 1]. September 28, 1923, sold by Moise Emanuelides (dealer), Athens, to Brummer Gallery, New York (stock nos. P639 and P747); 1925, sold by Brummer Gallery to the MFA for $855 [see note 2]. (Accession Date: March 5, 1925)

NOTES:
[1] According to the Brummer Gallery stock card. [2] MFA accession nos. 25.42 and 25.43 were purchased together for this amount. Because the stock cards from the Brummer Gallery give identical descriptions for the two vases, it is not possible to tell which was stock no. P639 and which was P747.
