The olpe was a popular vase shape during the Early and Middle phases of Corinthian vase production, dating from the late 7th through to the mid 6th century B.C., when it was abandoned in favor of an Athenian type with a trefoil pouring mouth. The example presented here is exceptionally large for the type. For another with the identical arrangement of ornament, seemingly by the same hand and perhaps once forming a pair with the present example, see no. 381 in J. Boardman, Early Greek Vase Painting.
