There is an old paper label inscribed in cursive in a 19th c. hand with an Italian name under the foot, and a brass plate engraved or stamped with the number 3846 attached to the rim, both probably indicating an earlier collection history than the one stated in the provenance. A photograph of the vase annotated by A.D. Trendall is in the Trendall Archive at La Trobe University, Australia.
