Léo and Eugenie Errera (1858-1905 and 1866-1934, respectively)
by descent to their children and heirs: Alfred Errera, Marchessa Louise Massoni, née Errera, and Ida Stadler, née Errera, 1934

Musées royaux d’art et d’histoire, Brussels, 1935-1963, together with 131 Greek vases, mostly South Italian

Typewritten letter dated April 10th, 1964, signed by all three heirs to Léo and Eugénie Errera, agreeing to offer three vases for sale to the Museum (not including the present one) and to leave the others on loan
Typewritten Museum receipt dated March 20th, 1963, attesting to the release of 43 vases to the heirs of Eugénie Errera (35 of the vases are referred to based on their photographic inventory numbers); the receipt is accompanied by a summary list of 35 "vases grecques et italiques appartenant à Madame Glorie", each with its photographic inventory number and dimensions, as well as of a handful of minor items, presumably the ones referred to as not photographed in the receipt. Based on the dimensions the present item is likely to be no. 13 on this list, subject to visual confirmation in the photographic archives of the Musées royaux d’art et d’histoire in Brussels
