Comments
The volume Bn 11, entitled Vase antiche, is devoted entirely to vases, some antique, but mostly fanciful products after the antique. A large number of the engravings have the initials AE. V and the representation of fanciful vases fall into three groups, distinguished by the inscriptions (a) sic Romae antiqui sculptores ex aere et marmore faciebant,
(b) ex Romanis antiquitatibus,
(c) Romae ab antiquo repertum

Description
Content (description)
The jug, which stands on a low wide foot, is quite plain. The shoulder is defined by two horizontal lines, beneath which are palmettes with faces in their centres, linked by volutes below. At the foot of the tall handle is a floral mask. A leaf masks the junction of the handle with the lip, which is deeply cut away at the sides.
