<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 9766983, member: 5833&quot;]Think the 3 little holes on the bottom are where it sat on a tripod over a mirror.&nbsp; The piece on the bottom, which looks like it could be from a scene of the Judgment of Paris, makes no sense in that position or in connection with the 2 other scenes.&nbsp; Think most repros do without it so the piece can sit flat.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Wedgwood put together a whole monograph on the various interpretations of the imagery; there&#039;s no agreement.&nbsp; One side looks to me to be clearly Eurydice reaching out to Orpheus as the venom rises in her body while Hades bides his time on the other side of the frame.&nbsp; No one has come up with a convincing interpretation of the other side of the vessel.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s my personal opinion that the whole piece is a Renaissance fraud.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
