This latest addition to the British Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum makes available the fascinating yet under-publicised vases in the Marischal museum, University of Aberdeen. The Museum houses a number of important nineteenth- and twentieth-century collections presented to the university by their individual collectors. The range includes Attic black and red figure of extremely high quality, Corinthian, East Greek, Etruscan bucchero, Italiote and Etruscan, and South Italian red figure. Professor Moignard, who has previously published Edinburgh and Glasgow collection in the CVA series, provides a detailed introduction that discusses the history of the acquisition of the collections, collection management, and display.
