Met Offers To Return Euphronios Vase To Italy

Th Metropolitan Museum has offered to return the 2,500-year-old Euphronios krater to Italy. “The museum pledged to return the vase and 19 other disputed antiquities after weeks of negotiations with Italy, which will now consider the offer. Under the proposal, the vase, 15 pieces of Sicilian silver and four other ancient vessels would be returned to Italy in exchange for long-term loans of other prized antiquities, and the Met would assert that the objects were all acquired in good faith.”
