Euphronios Krater (Mischkrug)

ancient Greek terra cotta calyx-krater, a bowl used for

mixing wine with water. Created around the year 515 BC, it

is the only complete example of the surviving 27 vases

painted by the renowned Euphronios and is considered one

of the finest Greek vase artifacts in existence.

from 1972 to 2008, the vase was repatriated to Italy under

an agreement negotiated in February 2006 and is now in the

collection of the Archaeological Museum of Cerveteri as part

of a strategy of returning works of art to their place of

origin.
