Provenance: Acquired 2020 from the German private collection A. Knorr. Inherited from his mother, E. Knorr, in 2013. Ms. Knorr inherited this cup and other ancient art objects in 1992 from Lieselotte Eichelmann from Herborn, Hessen, Germany. Before this, the objects have been in possession of Eichelmann family for 3 generations, after having been acquired by the grandfather of Ms. Eichelmann, Prof. Hans Rudolf Hartmann (1862 - 1946), who later called himself Hans Hartmann-MacLean. Prof. Hartmann-MacLean was a sculptor, medailleur and university professor at Dresden Art Academy. He most probably had acquired his collection during his study travels to Italy. Since then, the objects have permanently been in Germany.
