PREFACE
With the publication of this second fascicule of the Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum for
the J. Paul Getty Museum, the catalogue of the Attic black-figured vases in the Bareiss
Collection is complete. The volume focuses primarily on the smaller closed vessels and drink
ing cups. It demonstrates very clearly, however, that size is no factor in the determination
of quality. The consistent, confident taste that distinguished the selection of shapes and
representations in the larger black-figured vases in the Bareiss Collection is equally apparent
among these smaller vessels.
As the experiences of the past year have proven, a catalogue text can be complete at
only a certain moment in time, for an important vase collection is a dynamic entity that
never ceases to grow and change. During the months that this manuscript was in preparation,
seven new fragments of the Nikosthenic pyxis 86.AE.143 [pi. 72, 1-2) were identified.
These have now been joined with the original large fragment and their descriptions are
included in the entry. And by means of fragment exchanges with the Musee du Louvre,
the black-figured fragment of a Nikosthenic neck-amphora rim [86.AE.186) published in
fascicule 1, plate 38, 4, has been rejoined with the majority of the vase in the Louvre. In
return for this and several other red-figure fragments, the Getty Museum has received
joining fragments of three kylikes that will be included in later fascicules devoted to the
Bareiss Collection of red-figure material. Since these joins were made by scholars before the
appearance of the Corpus fascicules, we are hopeful that there will be more discoveries and
exchanges forthcoming as the Bareiss Collection becomes available to a wider audience.
The Department of Antiquities is grateful to Andrew J. Clark for his dedicated work
on the black-figured vases in the Bareiss Collection and to Dietrich von Bothmer and
Mary B. Moore for their indispensible guidance and support during the preparation of these
first volumes.

INTRODUCTION
This fascicule, the second of two devoted to Attic black-figured vases from the
collection of Molly and Walter Bareiss, includes the following shapes: oinochoai,
lekythoi, pyxides, an exaleiptron, an epinetron, kyathoi, a mastoid cup, skyphoi,
a cup-skyphos, cups, a fragment from a closed vase of undetermined shape, and
lids from neck-amphorae. The first fascicule published amphorae, neck-amphorae,
kraters, a stamnos, hydriai, and other fragments of undetermined closed shapes
from the Bareiss Collection. The neck-amphorae lids should have been included
in the previous fascicule, but space limitations required that they be reserved for
this volume.
For comments on the format of the entries, measurements given for the vases,
profile drawings, attributions to painters, and the exhibition and publication history
of the collection, the reader is advised to consult the introduction to the first
fascicule. Attributions not otherwise credited are my own. Wherever possible,
the approximate capacity of each vase has been measured, and the results given in
liters and in the estimated ancient equivalent, expressed in choes, kotylai, or kyathoi:
l metretes (39.391) — 12 choes; 1 chous (3.283 1) = 12 kotylai (1 kotyle, 0.27361) =
72 kyathoi (1 kyathos, 0.0456 1). The equivalents used are based on those calcu
lated by Friedrich Hultsch (Griechische und romische Metrologie, 2nd edn. [Berlin,
1882], pp. 101-104,107-108,703. RE, ser. 1, vol. 3, pt. 2, cols. 2526-2527 ["Chous"]),
even though it cannot be proved that these were the standards current in Archaic
Athens. Views of the undersides of the complete Siana cups and cups of type A
are given to illustrate their overall composition.
I am grateful to Marion True, Curator, Department of Antiquities, for the
opportunity to continue the publication of the Attic black-figured vases from the
Bareiss Collection, for reviewing the text, and for her guidance in bringing this
fascicule to completion. I am also indebted to David Ebitz, Head, Department of
Education and Academic Affairs, who released me from other responsibilities so
that I could finish the manuscript.
In the writing of this fascicule, Mary B. Moore, Professor of Art History, De
partment of Art, Hunter College, City University of New York, was particularly
instrumental. As chairman of the U.S.A. Committee on the Corpus Vasorum An-
tiquorum, she accepted the manuscript for publication and vetted the text, read
the galley proofs, and made valuable suggestions for revisions.
In the introduction to the first fascicule, I spoke of the long-standing interest
of Dietrich von Bothmer, Chairman, Department of Greek and Roman Art, The
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, in the collection of Molly and Walter
