CAVI Lemma: BF plastic aryballos (aidoion). From Greece. Unattributed. Priapos, potter.
Third quarter sixth (Beazley: not much after 550).
CAVI Subject: On the back of the handle: a man courting a boy (ορχιπεδιζων).
CAVI Inscriptions: On the reserved lip profile, in BG: Πριαπος επ[οι]εσεν.
CAVI Comments: Beazley in BSA says that there is no connection between the shape of the vase
and the name of the potter, for the shape is an ideal one, that of a youth. [But
did Priapus not love boys?]
