Inscriptions

Incised graffito under foot; see imgaes for drawing.\r\n\r\nAlso monogram "JPM" drawn in pencil under the foot, seemingly identical to that on the restored foot of 1909.12; see the CVA entry for that vase for the relation of this monogram to the provenance of both vases to the collection of J. Pierpont Morgan; see images.
