		The imagery of a third pot, an Apulian oinochoe (ZV 1365, pl. 26.5-7), is said to be a 19th century pastiche.
		There is no doubt that the lebes gamikos (ZV 2871, pl. 8) and alabastron (ZV 2870, pl. 32.1-4) have iconographic inconsistencies that do indeed make them difficult to attribute.
		The double 'obverse' of the lebes gamikos is unusual, as is the shape of the alabastron held by Eros, the lack of exterior detailing on the tympanon given that so-much added colour remains, and the unusual chest musculature and nipples of the naked man of each side.
