<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nerva, post: 2786251, member: 87761&quot;]I used to think Boeotia vase coins were boring. I&#039;ve seen the light. I was sorry to lose out in a recent auction on a wonderful tiny fraction with grapes on the reverse. But I did win another, well enough preserved to show the decoration on the vase.

Today I viewed the Christie&#039;s Antiquities sale, and they have a truly great Greek vase for sale, attributed to the Carpenter Painter. It&#039;s like visiting a museum where you can open the cabinets and handle the exhibits. They&#039;re not always of &#039;museum quality&#039;, but this is just astoundingly good.
