For a similar example in the Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge, see no. 108 in D. G. Mitten and S. F. Doeringer, Master Bronzes from the Classical World. Doeringer explains that "those of this shape are also called kalpides, although it is not certain whether the ancients applied the term kalpis to this specific group. Costly bronze hydriai were perhaps given to brides and were probably used only for special occasions or religious rites."
