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 large krater stands in the foreground of a landscape littered with classical ruins. It has a high foot, which is decorated with spiral fluting between the mouldings ornamented with vine tendrils. Flutings cover the belly of the vase, while on the neck are reliefs of Dionysus accompanied by satyrs and maenads. A vine tendril runs above the figures.
